  • 1) Which third-country nationals are eligible to be granted a National Card?
    A National Card may be granted to a third-country national as defined in a Government Decree whose purpose of residence is to perform work for or under the direction and/or supervision of others, for remuneration, under employment relationship, including employment through temporary work agency, or who performs actual work as the owner or chief executive of a business organisation, cooperative or other legal entity established for the purpose of gainful activity in addition to the activities within this position.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The applicant needs an employment relationship, including employment through a temporary work agency: a preliminary agreement on establishment of an employment relationship or a document on legal relationship of employment may serve as proof of the purpose of residence. Applications may also be lodged by an employer with the employee's written consent under certain conditions.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The document does not state whether a job offer is mandatory as opposed to merely sufficient proof; it lists documents that 'may serve as proof'.
  • The document does not specify any required characteristics of the employer (e.g., size, sector, registration) beyond the existence of an employment relationship or owner/chief executive role.
  • The document does not state whether the employer must be based in Hungary or have any particular status.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the decisive professional requirements of this route.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Limits of the record
  • Regime-level: the factsheet states one validity for the National Card as a whole and does not differentiate by nationality or by profile (f1044352c9dc43fb.derived.txt[22773:22964]).
  • No longer-term residence direction is stated: section 10 'Further information' contains only the appeal rules (f1044352c9dc43fb.derived.txt[23219:23895]).
  • The page never names Serbia or Ukraine: eligibility is 'a third-country national as defined in a Government Decree' (f1044352c9dc43fb.derived.txt[10409:10937]).
  • Source defect: the extension conditions on this National Card page say 'a valid residence permit for guest workers' (f1044352c9dc43fb.derived.txt[14884:14986]), text carried over from the guest-worker factsheet; it was not used as a value.
  • chars 22823-22964
    The validity period of the document is maximised in 2 years , and it may be extended for the same purpose for up to 3 years at a time.
