Work permit for Hungary

Obtaining a work permit for Hungary is challenging.

Residence work permit for the purpose of work

Those wishing to work in Hungary for any company will require permission to do so, typically granted by applying for and obtaining a Hungarian work permit.

What is the work permit used for?

  • Those whom are non-EU citizens/nationals who wish to work in Hungary based on employment relationship.
  • Those whom wish to perform work individually for a compensation (independent contractor, consultant, private entrepreneur).

Bear in mind that the work permit will be issued for a specific employment relationship with a specific employer. If one starts a new job, this will entail a separate application process for a new work permit.

Do you meet the criteria?

The applicant will need to verify the work purpose by submitting employment contract or preliminary agreement with future employer on establishing employment relationship. In case of individually performed work activities the document to be submitted is the agency agreement, consultancy contract, private entrepreneur permit, etc.

You will need:

  • Contract: The labour contract or other employment agreement needs to meet certain criteria and therefore advised to be prepared by professionals.
  • Depending on various factors, the application can be submitted in the country of citizenship (Hungarian embassy or in certain cases consulate, depending on the current country of residence) or while being in Hungary already, at the competent regional directorate of the immigration authority.

Do you have the following?

  • Sufficient funds for duration of stay either through
    • Bank account balance.
    • Sufficient income from abroad.
  • Sufficient accommodation by establishing a Hungarian residential address (rental agreement, statement from owner entitling to stay free of charge, proof the applicant himself/herself owns residential property in Hungary)
  • Appropriate all-around health insurance coverage.

What you can do with a work permit in Hungary

This permit allows you to:

  • You may be gainfully employed in Hungary.
  • Unrestricted entry and longer term stay (90 days within any 180 day period may be spent in Schengen countries (Please note you may not work in these Schengen countries)

This permit does not allow you to:

  • Work in other Schengen countries.
  • Estimated time line for application for this permit?
  • Within 70 days you will receive approval. (Possibly shorter should there be no additional requests)

Validity
Validity is up to 3 years, or in case it is processed in a unified procedure up to 2 years, in both cases the work permit is renewable.
