The change allows students who are in the Republic on October 31, 2022, to also be employed as “food delivery workers“ provided that they secure an employment contract with a specific employer, certified by the Department of Labour, and in which the main terms of employment are clearly indicated.

The student must also present a certificate of full-time studies, a document with the study schedule from a recognized institution of study as well as his/her residence permit. The monthly work schedule of the student must also be communicated to the Department of Labor.

Practical training

During the period from June 1st to October 15th, the employment of hotel/catering/restaurant students in HORECA-related businesses is allowed for internship purposes based on the current policies and procedures.

Finally, where the degree requires it, students of recognized fields of study will be able to be employed for practical training purposes, provided that there is a written agreement between the employer and their educational institution previously submitted to the Department of Labour.
