Please ensure all forms are downloaded and completed prior to arrival, and bring them with you when submitting your application.

Fee for Submitting a Residence Permit Application:
The application fee, payable upon submission at the Embassy, is €110.
- Exception: Applicants who have been awarded the Hungarian Stipendium Hungaricum state scholarship are exempt from the application fee.
D-Type Visa – Long-Term Stay (Exceeding 90 Days)
Regulations for stays exceeding 90 days fall under the jurisdiction of individual countries; therefore, there is no uniform practice among Schengen member states. Applications for residence permits for longer stays in Hungary are evaluated by the NDGAP. The application can be submitted at the relevant Hungarian diplomatic mission. Upon approval, the applicant will receive a D-Type visa valid for a maximum of 30 days, enabling them to enter Hungary for the purpose of collecting their residence permit.
Applicants are required to provide fingerprints for residence permit applications. Exemptions apply only to children under 6 years of age and individuals who are physically unable to provide fingerprints.
Comprehensive information on types of residence permits and necessary documents for submission can be found on the OIF's website.
Eligibility to Submit a Residence Permit Application:
- Azerbaijani citizens.
- Non-Azerbaijani citizens, provided their home country does not have a Hungarian visa-issuing diplomatic mission and they are legally residing in Azerbaijan.
The Embassy will notify applicants of the decision via phone or email.
Validity of the Issued Visa:
The visa permits a single entry into Hungary and is valid for 30 days from the date of entry. Within this validity period, the applicant must report to the relevant regional directorate of the OIF to collect their residence permit.
The residence permit is issued in a plastic card format and contains the applicant's photograph and fingerprints stored on a chip.
Travel with a Residence Permit:
The residence permit, along with a passport, allows short-term stays (not exceeding 90 days) in other Schengen member states. However, it does NOT grant permission to travel outside the Schengen Area.

Applicants may appeal a negative decision (rejection) within 8 calendar days of receiving the decision.
Fee for Appeal Process: €160, payable upon submission of the appeal.
