About this Visa
This permit is for non-EU citizens who already work legally in another EU country (like Germany or Poland). Your current employer sends you to Hungary temporarily to do a specific job. You do not quit your current job; you just work in Hungary for a short time. This permit lets you live and work in Hungary while keeping your contract with your original company. It is different from a normal work visa because you are not hired by a Hungarian company. You are a "posted worker" sent from abroad.
Key Benefits
- Live in Hungary during assignment
- Keep current job and social security in sending country
- Travel freely to other Schengen countries for holidays
- Avoid the strict bans that apply to other foreign workers in Hungary
