Nationals of the EU/EEA Member States and Switzerland, including citizens of Bulgaria and Romania, are able to work without restriction in Hungary.
Employers only have to report the employment of the foreign worker and his/her next-of-kin at the latest on the first day of employment. This should be done using the relevant registration form at the competent labour office for the place of employment. The employer must report the cessation of employment at the latest on the day following cessation.
For all other nationalities a work permit must be acquired and it is fair to say that the expansion of the EU has made obtaining a permit for non-EU nationals even more difficult.
