Earlier this year, the EU Parliament and Council reached a short-term agreement regarding the revision of rules for skilled workers who are nationals and residents of third countries. These rules have now become fully effective. The newly approved changes will allow applicants to present a valid work contract of at least six months instead of the previous requirement, which asked for a work contract that needed to be valid for 12 months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.schengenvisainfo.com\u002Fnews\u002Fmeps-officially-approve-new-rules-on-eu-blue-card-for-skilled-foreigners-to-work-in-eu\u002F\"> in English.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
