RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR THE PURSUIT OF GAINFUL ACTIVITY


We usually recommend this type of permit to our clients who wish to conduct business in Hungary or participate in the operation of a Hungarian company as a manager or owner of the company.

This type of permit does not require an employment status (also an employment relationship cannot be established with this type of permit), but a business plan must prove the viability of the business and that the business will be able to support at least the person applying for the permit.

Given that this type of permit affects the majority of our customers, and that obtaining this type of permit is particularly difficult, please be sure to consult with our experts before embarking on the permitting process alone!
