After ‘notarisation’, you should retain ONE SET of all the documents and courier ONE SET of ‘documents’ to our mailing address.

DO NOT SCAN AND ‘EMAIL’ THE DOCUMENTS

STEP - SEVEN: Upon receiving original and copies of ‘apostilled’ documents as per the Documents Checklist, we will prepare ‘Power of Attorney documents’ in Hungarian language. The ‘Power of Attorney’ documents must be signed in person and notarised by the ‘consular services’ section of the ‘Hungarian Embassy’.

Prior to e-mailing the ‘Power of Attorney’ documents, we will inform you to contact the Hungarian Embassy and book an ‘appointment’. Once the Power of Attorney documents are prepared, we will e-mail you the documents as attachments. After receiving the Power of Attorney documents, you should go to Hungarian Embassy to sign the Power of Attorney documents in person at the ‘consular services’ section.

Once you have collected the notarised ‘Power of Attorney’ documents from ‘Hungarian Embassy’, you must quickly ‘courier’ the documents to our mailing address.

STEP - EIGHT: With all necessary documentation available, as soon as we receive the notarised ‘Power of Attorney’ documents, we will initiate the process of forming the Hungarian K.f.t. Forming the K.f.t usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks depending on the work speed of various government offices and commercial court of Hungary. Upon the completion of forming the Hungarian K.f.t, we will ‘scan and e-mail’ the documents to prove that the Hungarian K.f.t has been ‘registered in your name’ in Hungary. You can verify the Hungarian K.f.t details in official website of Hungary (www.cegtalalo.hu). We will help you to view the registration information.

STEP - NINE: We will prepare the documents required for applying the ‘Hungarian Residence Permit’. Preparing the Residence Permit documents can take about 4 weeks.

In the meantime, we will ask you to contact Hungarian Embassy to book ‘appointment’ for submitting visa application. Once your visa documents are prepared, we will courier the original and supportive documents. After receiving the documents, you must go to the Hungarian Embassy to submit the visa application. We will provide ‘checklist of visa documents’ and guide you to fill up the visa application and prepare documents.

STEP - TEN: The Residence Permit ‘approval process’ will take about six weeks. The visa approval decision will not be taken by the Hungarian Embassy. After submitting, the Hungarian Embassy will send the ‘visa application and all supportive documents’ to the Hungarian Immigration Police in Budapest. The immigration police will review your visa application and notify the decision to the Hungarian Embassy. Later, Hungarian Embassy will contact you to inform the decision taken by the Hungarian Immigration Police.

If Hungarian Residence Permit application has been approved, the Hungarian Embassy will inform you to come in person with the Hungarian medical insurance to get the visa stamping on the passport. Each visa applicant regardless of the age must have to provide medical insurance valid in Hungary for not less than 12 months.

We will e-mail the service fee invoice for you to pay the ‘Second Installment’ of service fee inclusive of the cost of ‘medical insurance’. After receiving the payment, we will buy and courier the medical insurance. Once you get the medical insurance, you should go to the Hungarian Embassy in person to obtain the ‘visa stamping’ on your passport. You will be granted renewable Hungarian Residence Permit for one year. It can be renewed while you are in Hungary. We will assist you in the visa renewal process.

Once you have obtained the ‘Hungarian Residence Permit’, you MUST colour scan and e-mail the ‘Hungarian Residence Permit’ before departing to Hungary.

NOTE: The above described ‘Hungarian Residence Permit Process’ is particularly intended for the nationals of India. However, the residence permit process is same for all the Non-EU nationals. If you are a passport holder of a country, which is not a member country of the Hague convention, instead of Apostillisation, you will have to do Super-Legalisation of your documents. We will explain you in detail about the ‘Super-Legalisation’ process depending on your nationality after the formal ‘registration’.
