How to get Hungarian Visa, Residence and Working Permit

Sziastok Lovely People,

In this topic, I would like to tell you some tricks and clues for getting long-term Hungarian Visa.

After getting your passport and your Visa from Hungarian Embassy of your city/country, embassy officer will also give you a paper which is showing that where you have to go for completing your Visa process in Hungary. You have to go this place in 1 month after you arrived Hungary. Otherwise you can have a big problems. That's why, I advice you to go as soon as possible, especially in first 2 weeks, in case if they needed something more.

Firstly, I should inform you that these offices are not working regularly. Their working schedules and opening times are changing day to another day. So, firstly you should check their working hours. I also advice you that you have go as much as early that you can, because probably there will be a line.  

Cool Entrance

Before you directly enter to the office or building like above, you need to bring your passport, passport copy, visa copy, your mug shot / picture (it must be same on visa picture), original of your lease contract for flat etc. and one copy for it (they will ask and maybe take this one). If you are going for Erasmus or some kind of different purpose, probably they can ask some more documents. So, you should bring your related documents and letters with you just in case. Generally, they are only checking them and then giving at back to you.
By the way, when you entered to the office, you have to take a number for line. If you are coming for first time, information officer will give you a 2 piece of form-paper that you have to fill them. Actually, those documents are almost same like you filled up before for embassy process before you getting your Visa before coming to Hungary. 

After you filled up those documents and after giving them to the officer, he/she will give you number for the line and you will start to wait.

As I said before, when your turn came, probably they will ask all documents that I mentioned above. Maybe they can ask some questions like; why did you come? what is your purpose? or just a friendly; how did you find Hungary? Did you like it?...
Don't be shy, you already got your visa, it's just a process, if you have all documents that they needed, it will be done sooner.

After your documentation process, officer will give you a document which you have to get sign from your lease contract owner ( landlord, dormitory management etc. ) and you have to bring them back.

After bringing that document and if there's any missing document that you have bring, probably you will get your Residence Permit and/or Working Permit at that time. If your card is still not ready, they will give you a specific date to come and get your card.

Generally, system is working nicely. I can't say they are fast but we have to accept it for a long time permit. Also I didn't see any officer that making you nervous or upset, they are trying their best and they were nice.

I wish you good luck!

Note: I got these experiences while I am applying for a Residence Permit for Erasmus+ EVS purpose. I strongly advice you to check official informations before beginning to process. I just wanted to show some ways and tricks.
