Extension of your residence permit

Last modified: 21. January 2022

Min.1 month before the expiry date of your residence permit, you have to apply for the extension
1) by submitting the following documents to the Immigration Office OR
2) by applying via EnterHungary surface at https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/?en.:

- Student Status Certificate (issued by your Registrar's Officer/Erasmus coordinator at MATE)
- Credit transcript
- Copy of passport
- Accommodation sheet (issued by the dormitory coordinator or by the owner of the flat you rent)
If you live in a MATE dormitory, a reservation confirmation is necessary. If you rent a flat or room, your lease contract is needed as well. You only need a new accommodation card if your address has changed. Otherwise the copy of your old accommodation card is to be submitted.
- Application form (only "Application for Residence Permit" is needed)
- Appendix 14

If you are a self-sponsored student, you will also need a bank account statement (proving that you have enough money to live on) and health insurance.

If you extended your scholarship, you will also need the Letter of Extension issued by Tempus Public Fund.

If you graduated from MATE but pursue your studies as PhD, you will also need your Letter of Acceptance from SZIU/MATE and your Letter of Award from Tempus.

The procedure of extension might take 2 months, so if you need a valid residence permit (e.g. for travelling) for a given date, please calculate with this time. Do not forget to extend your TAJ card as soon as you have received your new residence permit!
