Highest Level Ever of Foreign Workers in Hungary – Where Do They Come From?

- Hungary Around the Clock
The number of foreign workers has reached a record high this year, surpassing 105,000, with the influx from non-EU countries gaining new momentum in early 2025.
While Ukrainians still constitute the largest group, exceeding 20,000, Filipino and Vietnamese workers now outnumber those from neighbouring countries such as Slovakia and Romania, with an estimated 9,500 Filipinos and 8,700 Vietnamese employed in Hungary.
The figures reflect Hungary’s growing appeal to third-country nationals, as its relative attractiveness wanes for workers from nearby EU member states.
