Pathway overview
For non-EU highly qualified workers with a binding job offer at Hungary's 2026 salary threshold.
Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need a binding job offer for a highly qualified position, a recognized higher-education qualification (or equivalent proven professional experience), and a minimum gross monthly salary of HUF 1,001,047 (roughly €2,500) — effective 1 January 2026. A lower HUF 800,838/month threshold applies to specific healthcare-shortage occupations (GPs, pharmacists, optometrists, dieticians and nutritionists, physiotherapists, district nurses, ambulance officers, nursing and midwifery professionals); this checker uses the standard threshold only. The authority primarily examines your guaranteed fixed remuneration. Minimum income requirements are reviewed annually.
