Hungary has been an EU member since 2004 and Schengen Area member since December 2007. Our country applies the Schengen legislation in full. For details on entry and stay rules visit the relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs homepage.

In case as our visiting researcher you will get a salary from Renyi Institute ('pursue gainful employment') and you are an EU or EEA (European Economic Area) citizen, you should apply for a 'Registration Certificate for EEA Nationals' of your Hungarian address either before coming or upon your arrival on the enterhungary website.

In exceptional cases you can apply personally upon your arrival to Budapest at the "Országos Idegenrendészeti Főigazgatóság" (National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing), but the they prefer the online application.

Please start uploading your data into the enterhungary system in order to get a date to get your Address Registration Certificate, which is highly needed in order to get a health insurance number (called 'TAJ-szám').  Once you have a TAJ-szám your insurance status will be covered from the first day of your employment.

Please register yourself on the https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/?en website:
