The government has implemented significant restrictions on the issuance of work and study permits to foreigners. This decision follows a notable increase in immigration that occurred during the pandemic, which has faced considerable public disapproval.
The measures aim to address concerns related to the rapid influx of immigrants and its impact on the domestic labor market and educational institutions.
These changes reflect a broader trend in immigration policy as authorities seek to manage the balance between economic needs and public sentiment regarding foreign nationals in the country.
