In May 2021, Parliament and Council negotiators agreed<\/a>\u00a0on a revision of the 2009 Blue Card directive to make it easier for employers in EU member states to hire third country nationals. Originally proposed by the Commission in 2016, this will be the only legislative change at EU level in the field of legal labour migration in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The revised directive on entry and residence conditions foresees more flexible criteria, including a lower threshold for the minimum salary that applicants must earn in order to qualify for a “Blue Card”. It also expands the rights of beneficiaries with simplified intra-EU mobility and faster family reunification procedures<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
