Hungary Limits Permanent Residence Applications for 13 Permits
Hungary's immigration authority, the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing, has announced that holders of 13 specific categories of temporary residence permits are ineligible to apply for a National Residence Card. This card grants foreigners the right to reside in Hungary indefinitely, without a fixed expiry on their stay.
The excluded permit categories include those for guest self-employment, seasonal employment, investment-related employment, general employment, guest workers, study, training, interim residence, treatment, White Card, posted work, traineeship, and voluntary service. The authority clarified that these permits are intended for temporary or specific-purpose stays and do not qualify for permanent residence status.
Foreigners holding other permit types not listed may still meet the conditions to apply for the National Residence Card, subject to broader immigration law requirements.
