Pursue your studies in Hungary
We specialize in providing expert assistance to international students seeking to obtain a student residence permit in Hungary. Let's delve into the specifics of this process and how our services can streamline it for you.
Eligibility
To qualify for a student residence permit in Hungary, you must first enroll in a Hungarian educational institution for full-time studies. Whether you're pursuing a degree program or participating in preparatory courses, meeting the institution's language requirements and paying the necessary fees are essential steps. Additionally, you'll need to fulfill specific conditions outlined by Hungarian law and provide a valid domestic address within Hungary.
Who's Ineligible?
While Hungary welcomes international students with open arms, there are some exceptions. Individuals seeking refugee status or temporary protection, those already recognized as refugees, or granted temporary or complementary protection are ineligible for student residence permits. Similarly, individuals under deportation suspension, those with the right of free movement and residence, and certain categories of skilled workers from third countries are excluded from this category.

However, the permit's validity cannot exceed the expiration date of your travel document. Need more time to complete your studies? No problem – you can renew your permit, but be mindful of the deadlines.
