Visas for Hungary, without the guesswork

Short stays in Hungary run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Hungary takes applications

Good to know about Hungary

• Hungary's White Card is a dedicated digital-nomad permit; verified remote income is required.
• Hungary restricts which third countries qualify for its guest-worker routes — the eligible-country list changes by decree.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays are residence permits decided by the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing; the Guest Worker and White Card (digital nomad) routes have their own eligibility lists.
