In some countries it is not possible to apply for the Hungarian visa. In this case the student can enter the country and stay as long as 90 days without any special permission. Within this period the residence permit application has to be submitted at the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing (Országos Idegenrendészeti Főigazgatóság). The residence permit is issued for the period of 2 years (maximum) and can be renewed, if necessary.

Please find further information on the webpage of the National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing.
