| What's included | Base 1 875 $ ≈ 1 579 € |
|---|---|
| Digital Nomad case audit Checking the assembled package against White Card requirements: completeness, format, and validity of documents. Missing or outdated information leads to additional requests, and the time to clarify them isn't included in the standard review period — so the package must be complete at the time of submission. | |
| Individual submission strategy Sequence of stages based on citizenship, country of residence, and employment type — from gathering documents to obtaining a D visa. An error in choosing where to apply or in the order of actions can lead to repeated costs and delay the process by months. | |
| Financial profile Confirmation of income from €3,000 per month over the last six months and its origin. Usually the issue isn't the amount itself, but which accounts to show, how to explain months with a dip, and how to confirm income if it comes from your own company or in different currencies. For some, the case is ready for submission right away; for others, the financial picture takes a few more months to build. | |
| Professional profile and Annex 16 appendix Confirmation of employment with a company outside Hungary, or a share in a foreign company with confirmed profit. For employees, the main document is Annex 16, filled out and signed by the employer. For project-based work, contracts with clients alone may not be enough: they don't always cover the basis on which the White Card is issued. | |
| Translations and document certification Some documents must be submitted in Hungarian or English. A regular translation isn't enough here: for official procedures, only an authorized organization may perform a certified translation, and some documents may require an apostille on the original. What exactly is needed depends on the document type and country of issue — an improperly certified document will be returned, delaying submission. | |
| Submission for White Card and national D visa The White Card application is submitted in person at the consulate by appointment, with biometrics; after approval, a national D visa is issued for entry, and the resident card is issued in Hungary. At the appointment, the package and originals are checked: missing even one document doesn't mean a fix — it means a new appointment, that is, another trip, and certificates that may have expired by then. | |
| Step-by-step action plan after entry Visa D grants entry only — resident status is arranged in Hungary: obtaining the card at the migration office, registering your address, biometrics. Deadlines are tied to the entry date, and some steps can't proceed until previous ones are done. If a deadline is missed, status will need to be restored — a separate procedure. | |

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What documents are needed to apply for the digital nomad visa?
To apply for the Hungary White Card, you'll typically need a passport, proof of remote work or documents on your foreign company, proof of income over the last 6 months, proof of accommodation in Hungary, and medical insurance. Documents must be translated into English or Hungarian and notarised. The exact package depends on your employment type and country of application: an employee and a business owner need different sets of documents. Translations and certification format are also best assembled for your specific case rather than a generic template.
How long does the White Card processing take?
The official processing time for Hungary's White Card is 21 days, and a substantive decision is usually made within 30 days, not counting additional requests. In practice you should allow more — up to 3 months: consulate appointments, preparing translations, biometrics, and possible clarifications often extend the process.
Can I bring my family on the Hungary Digital Nomad visa?
Family reunification is not provided for under the Hungary White Card. If a spouse also meets the digital nomad requirements, they can apply as an independent applicant with their own White Card. For family relocation, it's usually better to look at other grounds right away. Finding better alternatives is exactly one of our specialities.
Do you help find housing in Hungary?
We don't work as a real estate agency for finding housing. But we can advise on what type of proof usually works for the White Card: rental, right of use, ownership, or a paid booking. If you already have an option, we'll check whether the document is sufficient for the application.
What happens after two years on the White Card?
The maximum residence period on the White Card is 2 years (one year plus a single extension). If you need a longer term, it's best planned in advance, because Hungary must be left once the term ends. But most people find this period enough to find other legal ways to stay in Europe.
What do I need to do after entering Hungary?
If the application was through the consulate, once approved you get a D visa for a single entry: valid for 3 months and giving 30 days to start your stay. Then you need to come to Hungary and complete the residence permit process; the card itself is sent to the address given in the application. If you applied via Enter Hungary, be sure not to miss the biometrics deadline.
