Obtaining a Hungarian residence permit after an independent refusal

Client: Indian citizen, born in Dubai
Service: “White Card” (Residence Permit for Digital Nomads)
Case: Independent application → rejection → approach to IST Hungary

The client attempted to obtain a Hungarian residence permit for remote workers on his own but received a rejection from the immigration authorities. The challenge was not only the negative decision but also the need to correct mistakes made during the initial application.

Our actions:
Our Hungarian lawyers conducted a thorough case analysis, identified weak points, gathered additional evidence, and prepared a legally sound appeal strictly complying with local legislation.

Result:
The appeal was granted. The client obtained residence permit status and is now legally staying in Hungary. Although the card was issued for 6 months (due to the lengthy appeal process), the main goal was achieved.

Current stage:
Together with the client, we are choosing the optimal strategy: extending the “White Card” for 1 year or switching to a business residence permit for 3 years.

The first and most difficult stage is complete. Trust IST Hungary professionals with your residence permit application to avoid mistakes or rectify a previous rejection.
