What does the recast EU Single Permit Directive change?

It combines the work and residence permit into a single administrative act and mandates that a decision must be rendered within 90 days of a complete application being filed.

When is the 90-day clock paused?

The 90-day rule only applies to complete applications. If a document is missing or its validity is questioned, the clock is paused until the issue is resolved.

Can a worker change employer under the new rules?

Workers can now change employers more easily while their permit is still valid, which reduces the risk of labor exploitation.

Which EU countries are most affected by the 90-day rule?

The article names Romania, Bulgaria and Lithuania, where processing backlogs have historically been a significant barrier.

The implementation of the EU Single Permit Directive in mid-2026 is accelerating work permit processing times across member states to a maximum of 90 days.
