Reporting change of employer for holders of employee cards without free access to the labour market
The period required to report a new employer for holders of employee cards without free access to the labour market has been extended from 60 to 90 days. This also extends the period after which the employee card is, by law, revoked in the event of termination of employment without reporting a new employer.
If the employment with the previous employer was terminated before or on August 1, 2025, the period to report a change of employer remains 60 days.
If the employment with the previous employer was terminated on or after August 2, 2025, the newly established period of 90 days applies to the reporting of a change of employer. More information can be found here.
