Before you apply
- NO FAMILY. Family members cannot get a residence permit through you — the only exception is a child born in Hungary during the permit.
- A dead end by design: no path to PR or citizenship, and the 2 years do not count toward PR even if you later switch permits.
- You cannot convert a White Card into any other permit type.
- Income must be NET, held for 6 months before entry, and maintained throughout.
