Our founder spent six years inside Hungary’s immigration authority, deciding who gets a permit — then ten years running corporate immigration for a global provider. She has sat in both chairs, and she reads a case the way the officer will read it.
Six years deciding permits means she knows what gets flagged, which argument carries weight, and where an appeal can still be won.
Ten years running corporate immigration for a global provider — renewal waves, volume spikes and HR deadlines are familiar ground.
Five permit types, side by side — and the four things that decide which one applies.
National Card, EU Blue Card, Hungarian Card, employment permit and family reunification — who qualifies, what it pays and how long each one really takes.
Every filing, deadline and follow-up — handled by us, not your HR team.
Expiry tracking, document preparation, authority liaison, regular updates, and monitoring of legislative change.
The right permit for a short or long stay, filed right — work, residence, renewal or appeal.
Work and residence permits, renewals, family reunification, appeals.
Everything after the permit: a home, a bank account, a school, a life.
Home search, address registration, bank account, schools, orientation.
We provide immigration and relocation services in Hungary end to end: work permits, residence permits, renewals, family reunification — and the appeal if a decision goes the wrong way. Alongside the paperwork we handle arriving: home search, address registration, bank account, schools and orientation.
For companies we run the whole portfolio as one project with one point of contact. For individuals, one person carries the case from the first question to the permit in hand.
It depends on the permit type. The authority’s statutory deadlines are 70 days for a residence permit for employment, the Hungarian Card and an intra-corporate transfer, 70 to 90 days for the EU Blue Card, and 21 days for the National Card and for family reunification. Gathering documents and certified translations adds one to three weeks before anything is filed.
Those deadlines measure less than they look: time spent supplying missing documents, and any period in which a case is suspended, is not counted towards them, which is why a 21-day permit routinely takes longer in practice — almost everything is solvable with enough time, and very little without it. Tell us the deadline first, and we will tell you plainly whether it can be met.
It starts with a call, at no charge: tell us what you need, and we will tell you whether we can help. From there it goes one of two ways. If your case is clear, you get a fixed price for it straight away.
If it is not yet clear which permit applies to you, that is the part that takes real expertise — choosing the right permit type decides everything that follows, and it is where most of the work in this profession actually sits. That determination is a paid consultation. Once it is done, you get a price for your specific case before anything starts. Government fees, certified translations and similar third-party costs are passed on at cost.
Both — and the two look different in practice. Corporate relocation usually arrives as a group: a renewal wave, a set of new hires, a deadline someone else set. Individuals arrive with one situation and a lot riding on it.
The same small team handles both. That is deliberate: it is why a company gets a named person rather than a service desk, and why an individual gets the same expertise a multinational pays for.
Tell us who needs to move and by when. We will tell you whether we can help, what it will take, and what it will cost — before you commit to anything.
The answer will be honest either way — including if the answer is no.
