Services and Facilities
All international students are recommended to insure themselves in their home country.
Valid health insurance for the duration of your stay in Hungary is obligatory (if your health insurance card does not specifically state that it is valid for EU member states or that is valid specifically for Hungary, please ask your insurance company to supply you with an official letter to this effect as the Hungarian Immigration Authorities may need this statement when you arrive to Budapest).
NB: The health insurance must provide full coverage, emergency health insurance will not be accepted.
Health Care Services in Hungary (pdf version) (http://www.uni- corvinus.hu/fileadmin/user_upload/hu/kozponti_szervezeti_egysegek /nemzetkozi_iroda/files/Vegyes/Health_Care.pdf)
Information on the regulations concerning the visa and the residence permit can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Hungary (http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kum/en/bal) or at the diplomatic and consular missions of Hungary (see the Ministry website (http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kum/en/bal/missions/missions_abroad) for the list).
International students are highly recommended to consult the relevant authorities (and their websites) at least 2 months before the beginning of their studies.
Upon receipt of the Letter of Acceptance from the Corvinus University of Budapest, students from non-EEA countries (non-EEA nationals) must hand in their demand on residence permit for the purpose of studies at the Hungarian Embassy in their home country. (We very much recommend that all non-EEA citizens - even those who are eligible to enter Hungary without a visa for up to 90 days - apply for a visa for residence permit BEFORE coming to Hungary.)
In case of successful application, the students obtain a visa – for the purpose of studies – authorizing them to a single entry for receiving the residence permit and to stay for maximum 30 days in Hungary.
The decision on the residence permit falls within the scope of the regional directorates of the Office of Immigration and Nationality.
The students must visit the Office of Immigration and Nationality and obtain their residence permit within 30 days from the day of entry. All non-EEA nationals must, at all times during their stay and studies here, have a valid residence permit allowing them to study in Hungary.
Those international students who are staying at Corvinus for a longer period of time – for more than one semester – are obliged to have the residence permit renewed before it expires. Please note that renewal of the residence permit must be started at least 30 days before it expires. The regulations for the registration of the place of residence and the residence permit can also be found on the website of the Office of Immigration and Nationality (http://www.bmbah.hu) and/or of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Here(http://www.mfa.gov.hu/kum/en/bal/missions/missions_in_hun gary) you can find the most up-to-date list of diplomatic and consular representations in Hungary.
Students from EEA countries (EEA nationals) must obtain their certificate of registration at the regional directorate competent for the place of residence within 3 months from the day of entry.
All international students are also responsible for registering their housing address at the regional directorate competent for the place of residence. Each student will receive an “address ID card” which is obligatory for all people residing in Hungary. In general, all international students have to notify the authorities about their place of residence soon after arrival and within 3 days after any changes
taking place.
Further information on visa and residence permit (pdf version) (http://www.uni- corvinus.hu/fileadmin/user_upload/hu/kozponti_szervezeti_egysegek /nemzetkozi_iroda/files/Angol/INFORMA TION_ON_VISA_AND_RESIDEN CE_PERMIT .pdf)
CORVINUS offers accommodation in the dormitory to exchange students only in limited number for about 120€/month.
It is suggested that students rent a flat or share a rented flat, this is what most international students do.
The International Office makes every reasonable effort to provide assistance in finding the suitable accommodation. At the beginning of each semester a list of some real estate agencies is issued in the Information Letter, that may help our international students to find accommodation. Please note, however, that the University does not have an agreement with these agencies, so we cannot guarantee their prices, rental conditions, quality of cooperation etc.
It is advisable to ask the Hungarian Tandem partner (http://www.uni- corvinus.hu/index.php?id=15984&no_cache=1#c16008) for help in finding accommodation. It is also recommended that students look for a place to stay for the first couple of days (temporary accommodation eg. in a hostel) and see the rentable apartments for themselves. It is very important to read the rental agreement carefully before paying or signing anything!
