What Is the Hungarian Business Visa?
The Hungarian Business Visa is a residence permit granted to foreign nationals who:
- Manage (or wish to establish) a Hungarian company
- Perform active business activity in Hungary
- Can justify long and short term residence based on economic presence
It is a business-based immigration status tied to your company and management role.

Business Justification
Authorities assess whether the company has real economic substance and whether the applicant's presence is justified.

The application must be submitted at a Hungarian Consulate abroad, following precise procedural rules.
