Residence Permit for the Purpose of Research in Hungary

Residence Permit (Researcher's obligation):

On a general basis, a third-country national has to obtain a residence permit if he/she expects to stay in Hungary more than 90 days within a 180-day period. However, in some cases (e.g., due to being a Family Member of an EEA Citizen) other type(s) of immigration document(s) (a Residence Card) has to be obtained. Please see more details on obtaining a "Residence Card for a Researcher".

Residence permit for the purpose of Research can be otained only if hosting institution (where the Researcher intends to work in Hungary) is accredited by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office. The list of these accredited organisations can be found at the following link at "Register of accredited research organisations (currently valid certificates)" section:
