Hungary appears to be implementing new restrictions on the entry of foreign workers from countries outside the European Union. While specific details regarding the nature and scope of these new measures are not provided in the source material, the move signals a potential shift in the country's labor immigration policies.

Currently, it is estimated that approximately 90,000 individuals from non-EU countries are employed within Hungary. This existing workforce represents a significant component of the Hungarian labor market, particularly in sectors that may face domestic shortages.

The implications of these potential restrictions remain unclear. It is not specified whether the measures are intended to be temporary or permanent, nor is there information on which specific countries or professions might be most affected. The article focuses primarily on the reported restriction itself, with limited elaboration on the underlying reasons or anticipated consequences.
