The National Card in Hungary (“Nemzeti Kártya”) is one of the best residency options currently available to third-country nationals in Hungary. It offers various benefits compared to other types of residency, and from now on it is also available to Russian nationals.

Under the new immigration law of 2024, these three benefits are now only available with specific permit types such as the National Card, but Russian nationals can now get Hungarian residency easier, quicker, and with much better conditions. Getting residency also removes any obstacles to opening bank accounts or making investments.
After at least 3 years, the National Card can be turned into permanent residency, which offers even more benefits. After another 8 years residing in Hungary, you can even apply for citizenship and enjoy the privileges of being an EU citizen.
