One person who knows your case, your name, and what the authority will ask before it asks.
Tell us where you’re from and what you want to happen. We’ll tell you whether we can help, and how. No charge, no obligation, and nobody here whose job is selling.
If your case is clear, you get a fixed quote and we start. If the case needs analysis and a decision on which permit applies — and for most people it does — that is a consultation: one hour, €100. If you then go ahead with us, that hour is not an extra cost; it counts towards the fee for your case.
One person handles your case from start to finish. You’ll hear from us when there’s news, and when there isn’t — so you never have to chase us for an update.
We’ll tell you if you don’t need us.
Some cases are simple enough to handle yourself, and we’ll say so on the first call. Some aren’t possible at all under the current rules, and we’ll say that too — before you spend money finding out.
Clients have hired us precisely because we told them, honestly, that they didn’t have to.
The list nobody warns you about.
Address registration, tax number, TAJ card, bank account. Home search and lease review. Schools and kindergartens. Your spouse’s and children’s permits — including whether your partner will be able to work here, now or later.
The unglamorous part that decides whether your first months here are calm or chaotic. We handle it alongside the permit, not as an afterthought.
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.
Choosing the right residence permit type — and getting it approved.
RESIDENCE PERMITS, WORK PERMITS, RENEWALS, PERMANENT RESIDENCE, APPEALS
The practical side of arriving: home, bank, school, health cover.
HOME SEARCH, BANK ACCOUNT, TAX NUMBER, TAJ CARD, SCHOOLS
There is nobody here whose job is selling. The first call is a conversation about your case, not a pitch.
You won’t be handed between account managers. The person on your first call is the person who files your application.
Refusals happen. Appeals are part of what we do, and we put the same expertise into winning the case on appeal.
People we moved, in their own words.
Everything from the first decision to the last card: choosing the right residence permit type, preparing and filing the application, dealing with the authority, address registration, tax number, TAJ card, bank account, home search and lease review, schools, and your family’s permits.
One person coordinates all of it, so you always know who to ask.
The authorities work to deadlines of anywhere between twenty-one and ninety days, and that part is outside anyone’s control. What matters is starting early enough that the unpredictable part still fits comfortably.
This is where a missed deadline gets expensive: an expired permit can mean going home and starting over — and for some permit types the law has since changed, so there is no way back at all. It has not happened on our watch. We track the dates so you don’t have to, and we tell you at the start what ‘in time’ actually means for your case.
We quote a fixed price per case, agreed before we start. A residence permit for a family member starts from EUR 450, replacing a permit document from EUR 420, and EU registration from EUR 550. What you pay depends on which permit type you need, how many family members are involved, and how much of the settling-in you want us to handle — and each additional family member costs less than the one before.
What we can tell you now: a consultation is one hour and costs €100 — and if you go ahead with us, that hour is not an extra cost, it counts towards the fee for your case. After the introductory call you will know what your case costs, before anything starts. We invoice in EUR or HUF, whichever works better for you. All prices are net, excluding VAT and third-party costs such as government fees, certified translation and apostille.
Yes. Appeals are part of what we do. A first-instance refusal is not where our work ends.
Send us the refusal decision. The reasoning in it usually tells us quickly whether there is a way forward, and we’ll say so straight.
WHY HUNGARY
Inside the EU and Schengen, in the middle of Europe, with living costs well below Western Europe and a route to permanent residence that is genuinely reachable. Budapest has an international school network, an English-speaking professional scene, and most of the continent within a two-hour flight.

Tell us what you’re planning.
A short call, no charge, no obligation — and an honest answer about whether we can help.
Start here
The two situations need different answers, and a different first question. Pick yours.
Not here yet, or here on a short stay. The question is which permit is open to you, and how early you have to start.
You have an offer from a Hungarian employer and a start date to hitA partner or children are coming with youYou want to know whether Hungary is realistic before committingPlanning the move ↓You have a card, a lease, probably a job. Something has changed, and the question is what it means for your status.
Your salary, employer or role is changingYou have married a Hungarian or EU citizenThe permit type you were on has closedAlready here ↓Planning the move
From abroad, the order matters more than the paperwork. What the job is, what you have studied, what it pays and whether you have Hungarian or EU family decides which permit is open to you — and each one carries its own timeline.
From the decision to the day you can legally start. The authority deadline is only part of it: document preparation, certified translation, apostille and consular appointments all happen before the file is even complete.
We start with which permit applies, because everything that follows depends on it — the documents, the timeline, and whether your family can come with you. Where it is genuinely unclear, we ask the authority directly before you commit to anything.
The first call is free. If your case needs a decision on which permit applies before we can quote, that is a paid consultation, and it is deducted from your fee if you go ahead. If you want to see the options first, we set out the five main permit types side by side.
A family once came to Hungary so their child could be treated here. They eventually received a residence permit for medical treatment, and the authority was genuinely supportive of the situation. Immigration is not only rules and procedure — there is a human side to these decisions too.

Already in Hungary
You already live here — there is a lease, probably a school, possibly a partner who works. And it is rarely only your own status: a partner’s right to work and a child’s schooling usually follow yours.
This is you if
5months
Start about five months before the date on your card. That is enough time to look at every option properly, and to fix the things that take weeks rather than days. Two weeks before an expiry, nobody can work miracles — not us either.
What we actually do.
We look at every permit type open to you and tell you which ones are realistic — or which single one is the safest. Where it is genuinely unclear, we ask the authority directly before you commit to anything. We have had that answer come back negative, and it was better to know then than after filing. If you want to see the options first, we set out the five main residence permit types side by side.
And the honest part.
Sometimes the current permit type ends and there is no second one. You will hear that from us early, while there is still time to plan around it.
Check the expiry date on your permit. If it is inside five months, talk to us.
Immigration first
Your permit and your status come first. Everything else — the flat, the school, the paperwork around the move — follows from that.
