WORK PERMIT

If somebody outside the European Union wants to work in Hungary, he aways needs a work permit.

2014. from January 1, in the case of third country nationals who are employed, the work permit and residence permit are administered in a so-called combined application procedure. The official name of the new permit that replaces the work permit is: "Residence Permit for the Purpose of Employement".

JOB OFFER

The basic condition for issuing a residence permit for the purpose of employment is that the applicant proves the purpose of the stay. No one can obtain a work permit without a "Preliminary agreement to establish an employment relationship" (commonly known as: "job offer")! Only students who graduated in Hungary could apply for Job Seeking Visa!

The employer always has to register a job demand at the Labor Office before its employee submit the work permit application.

As a general rule, the application for a work permit must be submitted at the foreign mission in the applicant's place of residence.

The applicant must prove that

They will have accommodation in Hungary

Our office undertakes to prepare the applications and its mandatory attachments. We make an appointment for the applicant at the Consulate to submit the application. But the applications have to be submitted by the applicants themselfs because an biometrical identification will be made during the application process.
