Residence permit in Hungary for 3 years: a comfortable and reliable way to immigrate to the EU through business with the Magyar Kártya program
Have you been planning to move to the European Union for a long time, but are looking for a stable and legal way? Do you want not only to obtain a residence permit, but also to do business in one of the most promising EU countries? Hungary offers a unique solution - a residence permit for 3 years under the Hungarian Card (Magyar Kártya) program, available to entrepreneurs ready to open a company in the country.
«Hungarian Card» - long-term residence permit for entrepreneurs and their families
Magyar Kártya is a special residence permit designed to attract active businessmen and investors to Hungary. Its key advantage is that it is valid for 3 years at once, which is significantly longer than the standard primary residence permit options in most EU countries.

The process consists of several stages, each of which we support:
Company registration in Hungary

Submission of documents for a residence permit
After successful registration of the business, you, as a founder or manager, apply for a residence permit under the Magyar Kártya program.

After the application is approved, you and your family members (spouse, children under 18) receive residence permit cards, which give the right to:
reside in Hungary and move freely throughout the Schengen area;
