Clients applying for a residence permit for the purpose of employment are advised to contact their future employer in Hungary in order to clarify whether the supporting documents to be attached to the application (proof of accommodation, proof of employment status, other necessary permits) meet the requirements of the new legislation, as the deficiencies result in the refusal of the application.

 

We also draw attention to the fact that, based on the new legislation, the rules for family reunification have changed, and the previous options have been significantly reduced. In order to determine whether you are eligible for family reunification, be sure to visit the website of the General Directorate of Immigration, where you can find related information.

Visa services

Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan nationals, as well as third country nationals legally residing in these countries and in case of their country of origin has no visa waiver agreement with Hungary are required to apply for a visa to Hungary. Please note that our Consular Section handles D-type applications only for Hungary. We do not represent Denmark in D-type (long term) visa cases, only in C-type (short term Schengen) visa cases. Long-term visa applications for these countries should be submitted at their respective embassies in one of the nearest countries.

Regulations on a stay exceeding 90 days fall within the competence of national authorities, therefore there is no uniform procedure among the Schengen Member States. Foreign nationals requesting entry to Hungary with a purpose of a long stay may submit a residence permit application at a Hungarian Consulate operating in the country of residence.  The General-Directorate for Aliens Policing of Hungary makes a decision in residence permit applications.

In the case of a successful application, the applicant will receive a visa valid for a single entry and a stay of 30 days in Hungary, where the request for the issuance of the residence permit could be lodged at the local unit of the General-Directorate for Aliens Policing. 

A valid residence permit from one of the Schengen countries can be used as a short stay visa within the Schengen Area.
