Medical Treatment Permit
For third-country nationals seeking medical treatment in Hungary. We connect you with a licensed Hungarian immigration attorney who handles your residence permit application from start to finish.
What Is This Permit?
The Medical Treatment residence permit allows third-country nationals to stay in Hungary legally while receiving medical care at a Hungarian healthcare facility. It covers both the treatment period and any necessary recovery time.
It allows you to:
- Legally reside in Hungary for the duration of your medical treatment
- Access treatment at Hungarian medical institutions
- Stay beyond the standard 90-day Schengen limit if treatment requires it

Who This Is For
