As of May, foreigners from third countries will be able to obtain a seasonal job in Slovakia even without having a temporary residence visa. The Parliament passed the amendment to the law on the stay of foreigners at the end of the past week. In this way, the EU directive on seasonal workers has been implemented into Slovak legislation. According to the Central European Labour Studies Institute, foreign workers do not pose any threat to Slovaks as they enter sectors and jobs with a deficiency in work force. Incoming foreigners prove that the opportunities on our labour market are improving.
