What documents do I need to work in this country?

If you are under temporary protection and employed in a profession where there is an officially acknowledged labor shortage, then you can work without a work permit. The list of professions where there is a labor shortage is determined by the Secretary of Employment policy and is published here mceclip0.png on page 293.

If you are under temporary protection and employed in a profession where there is no labor shortage, you need a work permit issued by the Employment Authority. The work permit is issued on eased conditions (without labor demand and labor market assessment).

Those who get temporary protection can now work in certain jobs without a special permit. You can send your questions concerning these matters to ukraine@muknet.hu and ukraine@bpbar.hu, or you can ask for assistance with job seeking at Menedék Association mceclip0.png at menedek@menedek.hu.
