Hungary has quickly become an attractive immigration destination in recent years, both for work, study or as a place to call home. One group that has taken an interest in Hungary as their next home are Bangladeshi citizens drawn by its vibrant culture, dynamic economy and beautiful landscapes.

But like any country, Hungary also imposes immigration requirements that Bangladeshis must fulfil to fulfil their dream of making this Central European nation their new home — this article explores these requirements in more depth.

3. Work Visa

Hungary’s work visa is designed for individuals who have secured employment in Hungary and wish to reside and work there. Employment-related documents play a critical role when applying for this type of visa.

4. Business Visa

Bangladeshi entrepreneurs seeking to open or invest in businesses in Hungary may apply for a business visa that allows for temporary stays.
