EUR/VND Price & Performance (EURVND)

Belgium has announced new minimum salary thresholds for 2025. Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels have all introduced increases across various work permits, including EU Blue Cards and Highly Skilled Permits. Employers must ensure compliance with these updated requirements to avoid application rejections and maintain valid work authorizations for foreign workers.1

Germany has raised its minimum salary levels for various work permits effective January 2025. EU Blue Card holders in non-shortage occupations now require EUR 48,300 annually, while the national minimum wage has increased to EUR 12.82 per hour. Employers must adjust salaries to meet these new thresholds to ensure compliance.

Ireland has deferred increases for most employment permit salary levels pending a government review. However, healthcare assistants and home carers will see thresholds rise to EUR 30,000 in January. Meanwhile, the national minimum wage will increase to EUR 13.50 per hour, reflecting broader labor market changes.
