Single Work and Residence Permit for Non-EU Workers Required Under New Directive
.jpg)
An important new European Directive designed to facilitate migration of non-EU citizens was approved in December and has been officially published.
The legislation imposes significant obligations on EU member states in two respects:
- a single procedure for non-EU migrants to apply for a combined work and residence permit; and
- equal rights for third-country nationals working legally within the EU.
The Directive applies to all member states apart from Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ireland (which are specifically excluded).
