Announcement to All Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Hungary
Dear Kababayans,
Warm greetings from PASEI.
We would like to share an important update regarding recent developments in Hungary following the parliamentary elections held last Sunday.
We understand that such news may raise questions or concerns among our fellow OFWs currently working and residing in Hungary. In this regard, we would like to reassure everyone, based on guidance from our partners, that:
The legal status of OFWs currently residing and working in Hungary remains secure; and
The extension of your stay in Hungary is guaranteed, provided that all legal requirements and conditions are met.
While there are indications that the new government may introduce reforms to the guest worker system in the future, please be advised that the scope, content, and timing of any such reforms are not yet determined. Any changes, if implemented, are expected to take place in the mid-term and will be properly communicated once official details are available.
At this time, there is no immediate cause for concern, and all OFWs are encouraged to continue complying with existing laws, regulations, and employment conditions.
PASEI, together with our partners, is closely monitoring the situation and will keep you informed of any verified updates.
We encourage everyone to remain calm, stay informed through official channels, and reach out to your respective agencies should you have any questions or need assistance.
Thank you for your continued trust and cooperation.
Stay safe and take care.
Sincerely,
ROWENA PARAGAS
PASEI PRESIDENT
