Key Points:The single-permit directive enters into force on May 21, 2024, and EU member states have until May 21, 2026, to implement the terms of the directive domestically. Member states will maintain the ability to decide which and how many third-country workers to admit to their labor market. For Ethiopian nationals, the standard visa-processing period has been changed to 45 calendar days instead of 15. The commission cited the organization of both voluntary and non-voluntary return operations as a determining factor in altering Ethiopia’s visa privileges within the European Union.
