Work permit - details

Non-EU nationals working in Hungary generally require a work permit, with the exception of company directors (CEOs) in certain cases. Many clients are unaware that the initial step in this process is securing a job and signing a valid labor contract. Additionally, many employers are unclear about the procedure and require our assistance. Please feel free to reach out to us if you are seeking employment in Hungary or planning to hire a non-EU citizen.

The work permit application is now integrated into the residency application process handled by the Hungarian immigration office. To initiate the procedure, a valid employment contract between the applicant and a Hungarian company is required — applying for a work permit in advance without securing a job is not an option. As the process is complex and time-consuming, we encourage you to contact us if you plan to work in Hungary or intend to hire a foreign employee.

Obtaining a Hungarian work permit comes with significant advantages. It allows non-EU nationals to legally work and reside in Hungary, giving them access to the country's growing job market and economic opportunities. Hungary’s central location within Europe also provides a gateway to the broader EU market, making it an attractive destination for professionals looking to expand their career prospects. Additionally, the work permit often paves the way for long-term residency or even eventual citizenship in Hungary, offering security and stability for foreign workers and their families.
