The latest amendments to the Aliens Act bring another important change: the deadline for issuing work and residence permits has been extended to 90 days. This change significantly eases the entire process of hiring foreign workers, giving both employers and workers more time to gather documentation, organize arrivals, and coordinate all necessary steps.

More Time, Less Stress

Previous deadlines were often too short when documents had to be collected from multiple countries, coordinated with foreign institutions, or when a larger number of workers were arriving. The extended 90-day deadline allows for:

• calmer planning of all phases of employment,

• simpler collection of documentation,

• fewer errors and lower risk of delays,

• better organization between employer, agency, and workers.

Employers are no longer under pressure from tight deadlines, making it easier to prepare the workplace and integrate workers into processes.

Benefit for Companies Hiring Larger Numbers of Workers

The extension is particularly helpful for companies employing larger numbers of workers or managing complex projects – for example, in construction, tourism, logistics, or manufacturing. More time means better control over the process and reduced risk of administrative delays.

MEPOS: More Efficient Coordination and Faster Organization

For MEPOS d.o.o., a specialized agency for the mediation and outsourcing of foreign workers, this amendment has a direct positive impact.

It allows us to:

• coordinate the arrival of workers from different countries more efficiently,

• plan the start of work more accurately according to employers’ needs,

• align documentation without unnecessary rush,

• minimize administrative risks that previously could slow down the process.

All of this ensures that clients receive a more stable, secure, and organized solution – without the “race against time”
