Essential Paperwork for Hungary's Digital Nomad Visa

The Hungary Digital Nomad Visa, officially known as the White Card, offers a unique opportunity for remote workers to explore Hungary's cities and infrastructure for up to two years. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the application process.

To be eligible, you must have a valid passport, proof of remote work, earn at least €3,000 per month net, have international health insurance, and present an address of accommodations in Hungary. Proof of ownership of a property in Hungary is also acceptable as proof of accommodations.

The application process requires the submission of a copy of your passport, remote work contracts, and bank statements from the previous six months. It's recommended to have at least €30,000 in medical coverage for the first year.

When it comes to documentation, none of the Hungary digital nomad visa documents require an apostille or notarization. However, if your documents originate in another language, they should be translated into English or Hungarian by a certified translator.

For a personalized list of documents and assistance with your application, it's recommended to consult with an immigration lawyer. Nomads Embassy has partnered with English-speaking, verified immigration lawyers worldwide to help digital nomads with their visa applications.

Nomads Embassy has also partnered with accommodation platforms like Flatio and Spotahome for long-term lease agreements for digital nomads. If you need help preparing your Hungary digital nomad visa documents and application, Nomads Embassy has partnered with a local immigration lawyer to assist you.

The Hungary digital nomad visa is one of the fastest to get in Europe, with a processing time of about 30 days. When traveling to or from Hungary, you may be asked to show your travel reservations or proof of financial means to pay for an exit ticket. A letter stating that you will leave Hungary after the visa and residence permit have expired, along with your exit ticket, may also be requested.

It's important to note that the visa does not allow applicants to include spouses or dependents. However, if you're seeking guidance on this matter, Nomads Embassy can provide consulting services throughout the application process.

Lastly, Nomads Embassy has international health insurance partners Genki and Safetywing to ensure you're covered during your stay in Hungary.
