Benefits of the National Card
The National Card is issued through a simplified procedure, making it more accessible than traditional work permits or business visas.
It offers the following benefits:
- Family reunification: the ability to include family members in the application.
- Permanent residency: the opportunity to obtain permanent residency after 3 years.
- Change of status without traveling to your country of citizenship: you can apply for a different type of residence permit directly in Hungary.
Under the new 2024 immigration law, these benefits are available only for certain types of permits, including the National Card. Russian citizens can obtain a residence permit in Hungary through a simplified procedure, more quickly and under more favorable terms. This also removes any barriers to opening bank accounts and making investments.
After 3 years, the National Card can serve as the basis for obtaining a permanent residence permit, which grants additional rights. After 8 years of residence in Hungary, you will be able to apply for citizenship and enjoy the privileges of an EU citizen.
