All international students must register at the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policy (Immigration Office or OIF)
Basic rules:
• ALWAYS book an appointment online!
• Check the required documents and always bring your PASSPORT!
Citizens of European Union countries do not need a visa or even a passport to travel to Hungary: they only need to present a national ID card. Children and minors must have their own documentation (parental declarations are attached to conditional offers in DreamApply for applicants under 18).
For stays exceeding 90 days for non-tourism purposes, EU citizens must register at the Immigration Office, stating the purpose of their stay. After entering the country, D visa holders are typically required to apply for a residence permit.
You will need the following documents to apply for the residence permit:
- the completed form,
- passport-sized photo (no older than 3 months)
- other supporting documents (see the details later)
- payment of the procedural fee
The application shall be submitted with the form “Application for Residence Permit” and Appendix 13 completed and printed. Both documents can be downloaded from the official website of the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing by clicking HERE (general form) and HERE (Appendix 13).
