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.

Who Should Apply for a Hungarian Business Visa?

Non-EU Entrepreneurs

Foreign business owners who own or manage (or plan to establish) a Hungarian company

Managing Directors

Company managers actively involved in day-to-day business operations in Hungary

EU Residence Seekers

Business owners seeking legal residence status within the European Union

Business Founders

Entrepreneurs planning real economic activity and company establishment in Hungary

Why Applications Often Fail Without Legal Support

Business Justification

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

Document Consistency

Company documents, financial records, and personal documents must align perfectly.

Formal Requirements

Applications are evaluated strictly according to Hungarian immigration law — informal or incomplete submissions are refused.

Consular Procedures

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