Where the visa stands
Hungary offers a White Card for qualifying foreign employment or foreign business activity carried out remotely.
Start with your work plans
Hungary calls its remote worker permit the White Card. It covers an eligible job with a foreign employer or qualifying ownership and remote operation of a business abroad. It is not a general family relocation permit.
Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Take the first application step
Read the White Card factsheet and choose the submission visa option appropriate to your location.
This visa option restricts family reunification and switching to another residence purpose. Review those limits before planning a longer move.
Keep two money questions separate
The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.
This briefing reorganizes the existing visa summary. It does not represent a new source review. The visa section of the guide keeps the original review dates and qualifications.
