Notification about the validity period of residence documents

16 November 2020

 

We hereby inform our Clients that due to the epidemiological situation the validity period of the issued residence documents, permanent residence and immigration permits – except for the short-term visa and entry visa for receiving a residence permit – is automatically extended until the 30th day after the end of the state of danger.

Based on the above only the following documents which were still valid on the 4th of November 2020 or expired on that day will be extended:

-          Permanent residence card

-          Residence card issued to the family member of a Hungarian citizen

-          Permanent residence card for EEA nationals

-          Residence permit

-          Immigration permit

-          Permanent residence permit

-          Interim permanent residence permit

-          EC permanent residence permit

-          National permanent residence permit

 

This does not concern the residence documents which had already expired before the 4th of November 2020. Please note that the validity period of the certificates for temporary residence are not extended automatically, for the extension of those documents clients need to appear in person with an appointment booked in advance.

Please note that the application for the extension of the residence permit has to be submitted 30 days before its expiry date to the Regional Directorate competent according to the place of residence in Hungary. This means that an application for the renewal of the (originally expired) documents with an expiry date automatically extended based on the above has to be submitted until the last day of the state of danger. In case the application for the renewal of the permit is not submitted by the due date an application for excuse needs to be presented within 5 days after becoming aware of the failure or after the removal of the obstacle, but no later than 30 days calculated from the due date or the last day of the time limit.

 

Important!

The valid residence permits only entitle the holder to the previously acquired rights as stated in the residence documents, and are only automatically extended if all conditions for the residence permit remain unchanged.

In case the conditions based on which the residence permit was issued change (e.g. change of employer, change of position within the company, or e.g. a student would like to start working), it is necessary to submit an application for a new residence permit or to apply for the extension of the valid residence permit.

Please be advised that the absence of the conditions of residence as stipulated by law continue to result in the cancellation of the residence document. Please note that during the state of danger, applications for the extension of residence permits can be submitted in person with an appointment booked in advance or via the online platform Enter Hungary.
