Guest workers update: Filipino workers continue to have access to Hungary despite no formal agreement
According to a new statement, Filipino guest workers can still be employed in Hungary despite there being no formal repatriation agreement between Hungary and the Philippines.
Despite there being no formal repatriation agreement between Hungary and the Philippines, Filipino guest workers can still be employed in Hungary. This was confirmed in a foreign ministry statement published in the Official Bulletin on Thursday evening.
According to Telex, under Hungary’s new 2024 regulation on guest workers, employees from non-EU countries can be hired, provided that their country of origin has a formal agreement allowing their return in case of expiration of stay or legal violations. However, no such agreement exists between the Philippines and Hungary or the European Union.
The Philippines has long been a significant source of guest workers to the EU, including Hungary, with labour brokers keen to maintain this flow. The regulation provides a provision allowing workers from countries without a repatriation agreement to be employed, as long as their country has a recognised organisation or office in Hungary that guarantees the worker’s repatriation. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Philippines is the only country currently on this list, with an established office in Hungary that ensures the return of its workers if necessary.
