About this Visa
This visa allows big companies to temporarily move employees from outside Europe to work at their Hungarian office. Your company must have offices in both places and you must be a manager, specialist, or trainee. You can work legally in Hungary for your company. You keep your job with your original company but work in Hungary. Your family can join you, though they need separate work permits to work. This is special because it's EU-approved and available to people from almost every country (unlike other Hungary work visas that have country restrictions).
