These procedural changes may impact application timelines if registration requirements are not met. Employers are advised to work closely with their immigration providers to ensure authorised representatives are registered in the RNY and to avoid potential delays.
Following the full phase-out of the AVDH authentication system and the integration of the FEDOR service into Hungary’s ePapír platform, employment authorities now require immigration documents to be signed using a qualified electronic signature and timestamp. This applies where companies or individuals sponsoring visas or permits are required—or elect—to submit documents electronically.
While employers may continue to submit applications via authorised representatives, companies must now formally register those representatives in the Central Register of Dispositions (Rendelkezési Nyilvántartás – RNY) for immigration matters.
