How can to get a residence permit in Hungary: ways and "pitfalls"

If you are grimly determined to move to the bank of the Danube, you will need to choose one of the ways of how to get a residence permit in Hungary, and to act in accordance with it. However, alas, one can not do without a "fly in the ointment" here.

You can get a residence permit in Hungary by getting a job in a public or private company located in the territory of that country. But there is a small trifle: before collecting documents for registration of residence permit, you will have to find a job in Hungary. Whereas you have to be in your home country.
You can start your business in Hungary on the basis of the business license. This way of obtaining a residence permit is considered one of the best, but it is for this reason that there’s a recent increase in cases of refusal to issue a residence permit to businessmen – there are too many volunteers.
You can get a residence permit in Hungary as a student of the Hungarian State University. But the proverbial "fly in the ointment" is here as well: if you would later want to get a permanent residence in Hungary, then you have to stay in the country on a student visa for ten years.
And you can get a residence permit in Hungary through family reunification. In such cases the Hungarian authorities almost always issue a residence permit without problems, but it is logical that to obtain it exactly this way you will have to be a minor child, at least one of whose parents has the status of permanent resident in Hungary, or be a husband or wife of a Hungarian.
