How long is a Hungary Student Residence Permit valid, and can I extend it?

The student permit lasts a minimum of one year and a maximum of three, set to match the length of your training. For longer degrees you renew along the way rather than receiving the full duration up front.

Extensions of one to three more years are available provided you are maintaining academic progress and still meet the conditions, such as financial means and health insurance. Falling behind in your studies can affect your ability to renew.
