Single Work Permit Directive
The Single Work Permit Directive sets the application process for the EU countries for the issuance of a single permit. It also decides the set of rights that individuals from third countries can exercise. The European Union Parliament and Council recently agreed on a pact regarding the revisions in the Single-Permit Directive.
The new changes will work on streamlining the application process for both EU residence and work permits. Non-EU workers will, however, get the same rights as EU citizens after the implementation of the legislation.
