Dear Students, Many of you have questions or doubts about immigration-related issues. So here you have the most improtant information summarized. RESIDENCE PERMITS Residence permits are delivered to the university by post. Your coordinator will inform you as soon as your permit has arrived. (There is no need to ask about it, we will let you know immediately.) You don’t need to go to the immigration office either, just wait patiently because unfortunately permits are often issued with significant delay. ADDRESS CARDS Your address card is a pdf document with your name, address and a QR code in it. If you haven’t received your address card in email or at the embassy, you can go to the immigration office to get it. (Probably this is the fastest way of getting it.) If you only go there to get your address card, you have to join the queue to get a number but very probably you will get the address card at the reception (instead of getting a number and having to wait). Please note that most often you will need your residence permit and address card for opening a bank account or for getting a mobile phone contract. CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICES You may go to one of two customer service offices. Opening hours in both: Monday to Thursday: 8:00 am to 2:00 pm Friday: 8:00 am to 12 noon Try to be there around 8 am because there is always a long queue. Option 1: 1117 Budapest, Budafoki út 60. (Here there tend to be relatively fewer people than in the other customer service office.) What you can do there: - procedure to extend or replace your residence permit - do the biometrics for the residence permit - get your address card (if you haven’t received it in email) What to bring (minimum): - residence permit - passport - student status certificate How to get there: - bus 133 (Astoria – Ferenciek tere – Szent Gellért tér - … - Hengermalom út ) - bus 33 (from Móricz Zsigmond körtér to Hengermalom út ) Option 2: 1135 Budapest, Szegedi út 35-37. What you can do there: - procedure to extend or replace your residence permit - do the biometrics for the residence permit (when you are told to do it in email) - get your address card (if you haven’t received it in email) - receive your residence permit if it wasn’t posted to the university What to bring (minimum): - residence permit - passport - student status certificate How to get there: - bus 105 or tram 14 to Béke tér, then walk 5 minutes - bus 20E, 30, 30A, 32, 230 to Szegedi út CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS If your address has changed because you have moved to a different place or because you started the visa process using the dormitory address but you are not staying in the dorm, you must report the change of address to the Immigration Authority (OIF). You must do so via Enter Hungary: [ https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/ | https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/ ] . - If you have used the Enter Hungary platform before, you can simply log in and start the procedure. - If you haven't used the platform before, then first you will have to register at [ https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/register | https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/register ] and then you will be able to change your address.
