Hungary

The work permit application is currently done as part of the residency application through the Hungarian immigration office. The procedure must start with a valid labor contract between the applicant and a Hungarian company – it is not possible to apply for a work permit in advance and look for a job later. The procedure is quite complex and time-consuming, so make sure you speak to us if you are planning to work in Hungary or are looking to employ a foreigner.

With high working and living standards, working in Hungary might sound like a great opportunity for many people. Working in Hungary can be an easy and quick process; however, a certain category of people need to apply for a work visa.

The Migration Department of Hungary will take up to three months or longer to process your work visa application. Once your visa is approved, you must provide a resolution specifying the information of the employer who is hiring the foreign national, workplace details, job description, work activities, and employment terms.

Family Reunion

You can bring your family members together with you in Hungary with a family visa. Your family members will have the right to work and study in Hungary for the period you plan on staying in the country.

Duration of Hungary Visa

The validity of a work visa depends on the type of visa you apply for. For example, a seasonal work visa is valid for 6-12 months, whereas other types of work visas can be valid for 1 to 2 years or 3 years.

Mandatory employee benefits in Hungary include pension, parental leaves, PTO, and eye exams. Supplementary employee benefits include medical, life, and accident insurance. Perks as an employee benefit are not popular because they are taxed as salary.
