Can I stay in Hungary after I graduate on a Student Permit?

After completing your studies you may apply for a permit that lets you look for a job or start a business in Hungary, giving you time to move into the workforce. This is a popular next step for international graduates.

The key condition is timing: your student permit must still be valid at the moment you apply for the follow-on permit. If you let your study permit lapse first, you generally lose access to this transition, so apply before it expires.
