Entry for long stay (exceeding 90 days)

Regulations on a stay exceeding 90 days fall within the competence of national authorities, therefore there is no uniform routine among the Schengen States.

Foreign nationals requesting entry to Hungary with a purpose of a long stay may submit a residence permit application at our Embassy. Please visit OIF website for the specific requirements.

The decision on the residence permit falls within the scope of the regional directorates of the Országos Idegenrendészeti Főigazgatóság - OIF. The application forms for resident permits can be downloaded from the OIF website. Any request for supplemental information about the application must be directed at the Office.

In case of success, the applicant will get a residential visa authorizing him/her to a single entry for receiving a residence permit in the first 30 days after arrival to Hungary.

!ATTENTION!

After the approval the residence permit will be invalid if the third-country national does not travel to Hungary within three months of the issuance of the residence permit.
