V. The Hungarian government should comply with the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the unconstitutionality of the “lawful stay” requirement for applicants of stateless status. Hungary should provide unhindered access to the statelessness determination procedure and create a specific temporary status for applicants, in line with the relevant recommendations in the UNHCR Handbook. VI. Recognised stateless persons should have unrestricted access to the labour market, including the possibility to be employed without a work permit (similarly to recognised refugees). VII. The validity of the residence permit after the first three years should be extended (if conditions are fulfilled) to further three-year periods instead of to be renewed every year. VIII. Recognised stateless persons should have at least the same favourable treatment as other beneficiaries of international protection in all aspects of their enjoyment of socio-economic rights, especially housing, health care, education and integration support. Stateless persons should automatically establish domicile, similarly to refugees.
