On October 3.10.2022, XNUMX, Rakennusteollisuus RT has issued a statement regarding the government's proposal to parliament to amend the Aliens Act and related laws.
Construction Industry RT generally supports the proposed amendments, which can enhance and clarify actions to prevent the exploitation of foreign labor. However, RT considers it necessary to clarify a few points of the law. The law stipulates when a foreigner who has applied for international protection may work without a residence permit. According to RT, in the legislative text, or at least in the explanatory text, there is a reason to take a stand on whether or not it is permissible to run a business and how so-called light entrepreneurs are evaluated in this situation. In addition, the law would provide for the right to work and run a business without a residence permit, e.g. when a foreigner becomes an expert. RT considers that the criteria for an expert must be clarified.
