How to apply
Visa-required applicants use the competent Hungarian mission before travel. Follow the current OIF instructions for the filing route.
What to keep in mind
- Valid for at most one year; extendable once for at most one further year.
- No general family-reunification right. Higher income does not change this restriction.
- Local employment and holding shares in a Hungarian company are incompatible with this route.
- Visa-required first applicants normally file at a Hungarian mission abroad. Visa-exempt nationals without a residence permit may file during lawful stay in Hungary; follow OIF's exact conditions.
