TÁJÉKOZTATÓ
Vállalaton belüli áthelyezés célú tartózkodási engedély és hosszú távú mobilitási engedély
Vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából tartózkodási engedélyt az a harmadik országbeli állampolgár kaphat, aki
A vállalaton belüli áthelyezés jelentése: az Európai Unió tagállamai területén kívül lakóhellyel rendelkező harmadik országbeli állampolgár foglalkoztatási vagy képzési célú ideiglenes kiküldetése az Európai Unió tagállamai területén kívül letelepedett olyan vállalkozástól, amelyhez a harmadik országbeli állampolgárt az ugyanahhoz a vállalkozáshoz vagy vállalkozáscsoporthoz tartozó, az adott tagállamban letelepedett szervezethez történő áthelyezést megelőzően és annak idejére munkaszerződés köti, illetve adott esetben az egy vagy több második tagállamban letelepedett fogadó szervezetek közötti mobilitása.
Nem kaphat vállalaton belül áthelyezés céljából tartózkodási engedélyt
Harmadik országbeli állampolgárnak minősül:
Ha Ön vízummentesen nem utazhat be Magyarországra, és nem rendelkezik az Európai Unió másik tagállama által vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából kiállított tartózkodási engedéllyel, akkor a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelmet külföldön kell benyújtania.
A kérelmet azon a magyar külképviseleten tudja benyújtani, amely az Ön állampolgársága vagy szokásos tartózkodási helye szerinti országban működik.
Javasoljuk, hogy az illetékes konzulátusnál érdeklődjön arról, hogy van-e egyéb kérelem átvételére felhatalmazott hely, ahol a kérelem szintén benyújtható. Ilyen átvevő hely például a tiszteletbeli konzul, a kereskedelmi képviselet vagy külső szolgáltató.
Ha az Ön állampolgársága vagy szokásos tartózkodási helye szerinti országban nem működik magyar konzulátus vagy egyéb kérelem átvevő hely, akkor kivételes esetben a kérelmet benyújthatja abban az országban is, ahol jogszerűen tartózkodik, de kizárólag akkor, ha a kérelmezés indokait okirattal igazolja.
Vízumot külön nem kell kérelmeznie, mert a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelem magában foglalja a tartózkodási engedély átvételére jogosító vízum iránti kérelmet is.
Mely esetben nyújtható be a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelem Magyarországon?
Amennyiben Ön állampolgárságánál fogva vízummentesen utazhat be Magyarországra, és nem rendelkezik tartózkodási engedéllyel, akkor jogszerű tartózkodásának ideje alatt a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelmét Magyarországon is benyújthatja.
Amennyiben az Európai Unió másik tagállama által kiállított vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából kiállított tartózkodási engedéllyel rendelkezik, szintén benyújthatja Magyarországon a tartózkodási engedély (hosszú távú mobilitási engedély) kiadása iránti kérelmét.
A kérelmet legkésőbb a hosszú távú mobilitás megkezdése előtt 20 nappal, vagy a másik tagállam által vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából kiállított tartózkodási engedély birtokában Magyarországon 90 napot meg nem haladó jogszerű tartózkodásának lejárta előtt 20 nappal kell benyújtani.
Milyen módon nyújtható be a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelem Magyarországon?
A kérelmet Magyarországon az alábbi módokon nyújthatja be:
Felhívjuk a figyelmet, hogy ha meghatalmazottja jogi képviselő vagy jogi személy, a kérelem kizárólag az Enter Hungary felületen nyújtható be.
A vállalaton belüli áthelyezés célú tartózkodási engedély (illetve hosszú távú mobilitási engedély) kiadása, illetve meghosszabbítása iránti kérelmet a foglalkoztató is előterjesztheti, ha ehhez a munkavállaló írásbeli nyilatkozattal hozzájárul és
A kérelmet a foglalkoztató kizárólag az Enter Hungary felületen nyújthatja be.

Azokban az esetekben, amikor a foglalkoztató útján kerül előterjesztésre a tartózkodási engedély iránti kérelem, a biometrikus adatokat tartalmazó tartózkodásra jogosító okmány kiállítása céljából arcképmás készítésére, ujjnyomat rögzítésére és egyéb eljárási cselekmények lefolytatása céljából a hatóság felhívására az ügyfél a hatóság előtt köteles személyesen megjelenni.
Az engedély meghosszabbítását kizárólag Magyarországon kérelmezheti, az Enter Hungary felületen, melyet ide kattintva érhet el.

Felhívjuk a figyelmét továbbá, hogy a tartózkodási engedély meghosszabbítása iránti kérelmet legkésőbb a tartózkodási engedély érvényességi idejének lejártát megelőző 30 nappal kell benyújtani.

Word formátumban: ide illetve ide kattintva.

A kérelem benyújtásakor a biometrikus adatokat tartalmazó tartózkodásra jogosító okmány kiállítása céljából arcképmás készítésére és ujjnyomat rögzítésére kerül sor.
Az Enter Hungary felületen előterjesztett kérelem akkor minősül az idegenrendészeti hatósághoz érkezettnek, ha a kérelem díját befizette, és a visszaigazolás megküldésétől számított 15. napon belül megtörtént az arcképmása, valamint az ujjnyomata rögzítése és az aláírásminta megadása. Ha a kérelem érkezettnek minősül, az idegenrendészeti hatóság erről tájékoztatást küld.
Az eljárási díjakról szóló tájékoztatót ide kattintva tekintheti meg.
A tartózkodási engedély iránti kérelem engedélyezéséhez teljesítenie kell a beutazási és tartózkodási feltételeket, melyeket az eljárás során a kötelező mellékletekkel tud igazolni.
Kérjük, hogy a mellékleteket maradéktalanul töltse ki, illetve minden iratot ellenőrizzen a benyújtás előtt, ezzel hozzájárulhat kérelmének mielőbbi elbírálásához.
A tartózkodási célt igazoló dokumentumok
A tartózkodás céljának igazolására az alábbi iratokat kell csatolni:
A magyarországi megélhetést igazoló dokumentumok
Önnek az alábbi dokumentumok valamelyikével igazolnia kell, hogy elegendő anyagi fedezettel rendelkezik, így a jogszerűen megszerzett jövedelemből, megtakarításból fedezni tudja a megélhetés, lakhatás, kiutazás és az egészségügyi ellátás költségeit:
A magyarországi szálláshelyet igazoló dokumentumok
Önnek valós magyarországi lakcímadatot kell bejelenteni szálláshelyként a kérelem nyomtatványon. A bejelentéshez külön irat csatolására nincs szükség.
Az egészségbiztosítást igazoló dokumentumok
Önnek okirattal igazolnia kell, hogy az egészségügyi ellátások teljes körére biztosítottnak minősül, vagy az egészségügyi ellátás költségeit biztosítani képes.
Ennek lehetséges módjai:
A kiutazás feltételeit igazoló dokumentumok
A kiutazás feltételei igazolhatók:
Egyéb szükséges dokumentumok
Hosszabbítás esetén nem kell ismételten csatolnia a változatlan feltételekre vonatkozó okiratokat.
A vállalaton belüli áthelyezés célú tartózkodási engedély iránti kérelmet az eljáró hatóság összevont kérelmezési eljárás keretében bírálja el.
Az összevont kérelmezési eljárásról szóló részletes tájékoztatót ide kattintva olvashatja.
Az ügyintézési idő: 21 nap.
A kötelező mellékleteken kívül az OIF a tényállás tisztázása érdekében további okiratok benyújtására is felhívhatja, valamint egyéb eljárási cselekményt is foganatosíthat.
A hiánypótlási határidő és a különféle eljárási cselekmények lefolytatása az ügyintézési határidőbe nem számít bele.
Az eljáró hatóság az érdemi döntést a kérelem benyújtásától számított 70 napon belül hozza meg.
Ha a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelmet külképviseleten terjesztette elő, és a regionális igazgatóság a tartózkodási engedély kiadása iránti kérelemnek helyt ad, egyidejűleg a tartózkodási engedély átvételére jogosító vízum kiadását is engedélyezi, és erről értesíti a magyar konzulátust.
A tartózkodási engedély átvételére jogosító vízumot a konzuli tisztviselő adja ki.
Felhívjuk a figyelmet, hogy tartózkodási engedély átvételére jogosító D vízum egyszeri beutazásra és 30 nap tartózkodásra jogosítja a kérelmezőt és 3 hónapig érvényes.
Felhívjuk továbbá a figyelmet, hogy amennyiben a tartózkodási engedély kiadásának engedélyezését követő 3 hónapon belül nem utazik be Magyarországra és az engedélyezett tartózkodását nem kezdi meg, az engedélyezett tartózkodási engedély érvénytelen, és a beutazásra és tartózkodásra való jogosultsága megszűnik.
A tartózkodási engedély okmány postai úton kerül kézbesítésre a kérelem formanyomtatványon megjelölt címre.
Ha a kérelmet a foglalkoztató nyújtotta be, az okmány a foglalkoztató részére kerül kézbesítésre, az általa megadott hivatalos kapcsolattartási címére, ennek hiányában a székhelyére.
Felhívjuk a figyelmét, hogy az okmányt kizárólag akkor veheti át személyesen az OIF regionális igazgatóságán, ha igazolja, hogy nincs abban a helyzetben, hogy az okmányt a kézbesítésre megjelölt címen átvegye.
Az okmány érvényességi ideje vezető állású munkavállaló vagy szakértő esetében legfeljebb 3 év, amely meghosszabbítható, azonban az okmány érvényességi ideje meghosszabbítás esetén sem haladhatja meg az első kiadástól számított 3 évet.
Az okmány érvényességi ideje gyakornok esetében legfeljebb 1 év, amely meghosszabbítható, azonban az okmány érvényességi ideje meghosszabbítás esetén sem haladhatja meg az első kiadástól számított 1 évet.
Felhívjuk a figyelmet, hogy a tartózkodási engedély érvényességi idejét úgy kell megállapítani, hogy a harmadik országbeli állampolgár úti okmánya az engedélyezett tartózkodás lejártakor még legalább 3 hónapig érvényes legyen.
Az elutasító döntéssel szemben fellebbezésnek van helye, mely a közléstől számított 8 napon belül nyújtható be az elsőfokú döntést hozó hatóságnál, vagy a kérelmezés helye szerinti külképviseleten.
Felhívjuk a figyelmet, hogy a fellebbezés érdemi vizsgálat nélkül elutasításra kerül az alábbi esetekben:
- a fellebbezés elkésett,
- a fellebbezés nem a jogosulttól származik,
- az ügyfél fellebbezésében olyan új tényre hivatkozik, amelyről a döntés meghozatala előtt tudomása volt,
- a fellebbezést indoklás nélkül nyújtja be.

TÁJÉKOZTATÓ
A munkáltató és a fogadó szervezet kötelezettségei
A munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet legkésőbb a harmadik országbeli állampolgár munkába lépésének napján köteles meggyőződni arról, hogy a harmadik országbeli állampolgár érvényes, az adott munkáltatónál vagy a fogadó szervezetnél munkavégzésre jogosító tartózkodási engedéllyel rendelkezik-e.
A munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet a harmadik országbeli állampolgár által bemutatott tartózkodási engedély másolatát a foglalkoztatás időtartama alatt köteles megőrizni.
A fentieket az idegenrendészeti hatóság hatósági ellenőrzése során kérheti bemutatni!
A foglalkoztatás megkezdésének bejelentése
A foglalkoztató a harmadik országbeli állampolgár foglalkoztatásának megkezdését az alábbi határidők mellett köteles bejelenteni az idegenrendészeti hatóságnak:
A foglalkoztatás meg nem kezdésének bejelentése
A munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet az alábbi határidők mellett köteles bejelenteni az idegenrendészeti hatóságnak, ha a harmadik országbeli állampolgár az engedélyezett munkáját nem kezdi meg:
A foglalkoztatás megszűnésének bejelentése
A munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet a bejelentés alapjául szolgáló tény vagy körülmény beálltától számított 5 napon belül köteles bejelenteni az idegenrendészeti hatóságnak, hogy a munkavégzés a munkavégzésre jogosító tartózkodási engedély érvényességi idején belül megszűnik.
A foglalkoztatás megkezdését, meg nem kezdését, megszűnését a munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet a következő adatok közlésével köteles teljesíteni:
A munkáltató a fenti felsorolt bejelentéseket elektronikus azonosítását követően az Enter Hungary felületen keresztül, elektronikus úton teljesíti.
A foglalkoztatás megkezdésére, meg nem kezdésére, megszűnésére vonatkozó bejelentési kötelezettség elmulasztásának jogkövetkezménye
A foglalkoztatás megkezdésére, meg nem kezdésére, megszűnésére vonatkozó bejelentési kötelezettséget elmulasztó, valamint a tartózkodási engedéllyel kapcsolatos meggyőződési kötelezettségét elmulasztó munkáltatót vagy fogadó szervezetet az idegenrendészeti hatóság a foglalkoztatott harmadik országbeli állampolgárok számával arányos mértékű közrendvédelmi bírsággal sújtja, melynek összege
foglalkoztatottanként 1.000.000 forintig terjedhet.
A közrendvédelmi bírság megfizetésének kötelezettsége alól a munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet akkor mentesül, ha bizonyítja, hogy a – fentebb részletezett – ellenőrzési és bejelentési kötelezettségének eleget tett.
Nem mentesül a munkáltató, illetve a fogadó szervezet a közrendvédelmi bírság megfizetésének kötelezettsége alól akkor, ha tudott, vagy kellő gondosság mellett tudhatott volna arról, hogy az érvényes tartózkodási engedélyként vagy más, tartózkodásra jogosító engedélyként bemutatott okmány hamis volt.
A fővállalkozó és valamennyi közbenső alvállalkozó az alvállalkozó munkáltatóval vagy a fogadó szervezettel egyetemlegesen felel a közrendvédelmi bírság megfizetéséért akkor, ha tudott, vagy kellő gondosság mellett tudhatott volna arról, hogy az alvállalkozó munkáltató harmadik országbeli állampolgárt tartózkodásra jogosító engedély nélkül foglalkoztat.
A 90 napot meg nem haladó vállalaton belüli áthelyezés bejelentése
A fogadó szervezet legkésőbb a munkába állást követő 5 napon belül köteles bejelenteni, ha az Európai Unió tagállama által, vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából kiállított tartózkodási engedéllyel rendelkező harmadik országbeli állampolgár vállalaton belüli áthelyezés céljából, kilencven napot meg nem haladó, tervezett időtartamig Magyarországon a fogadó szervezetnél végez munkát.

A vendégmunkás-tartózkodási engedéllyel rendelkező külföldit foglalkoztató munkáltató, ha az általa foglalkoztatott vendégmunkás foglalkoztatási feltételeiben változás áll be, köteles azt a változás bekövetkezésétől számított 5 napon belül az OIF részére az Enter Hungary felületen keresztül, az alábbi adatok közlésével bejelenteni:
A foglalkoztató köteles gondoskodni arról, hogy a
rendelkező vendégmunkás a munkaviszonya megszűnése vagy megszüntetése esetén Magyarország területét a munkaviszony megszűnését követő legkésőbb 6. napon elhagyja.
Amennyiben a foglalkoztató a fenti kötelezettségének nem tesz eleget, az idegenrendészeti hatóság 5.000.000 forint összegű bírsággal sújtja.
A foglalkoztató mentesül a bírság megfizetése alól, ha bizonyítja, hogy a fenti kötelezettsége teljesítése során úgy járt el, ahogyan az az adott helyzetben általában elvárható.
A foglalkoztató különösen akkor felel meg az adott helyzetben általában elvárható magatartás követelményének, ha az idegenrendészeti hatóság irányába történő bejelentési kötelezettségének maradéktalanul eleget tesz, továbbá bizonyítani tudja, hogy
- a vendégmunkás a kiutazás napja előtt a bejelentett szálláshelyéről ismeretlen helyre távozott, és vele kapcsolatot teremteni nem tudott, vagy
- a vendégmunkás más foglalkoztatóval létesített munkaviszonyt, és a foglalkoztató a foglalkoztató-váltás tényéről megbizonyosodott és azt okirattal bizonyítani tudja.
Az idegenrendészeti hatóság és az általános rendőrségi feladatok ellátására létrehozott szerv által előlegezett kiutasítási, kiutaztatási, valamint az idegenrendészeti őrizetben tartással keletkezett költséget köteles a foglalkoztató megtéríteni, ha
- a tartózkodási feltételeket nem teljesíti,
- engedély nélkül végzett munkát, vagy
- beutazása és tartózkodása a közegészséget sérti vagy veszélyezteti.
Ha a munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet a vendégmunkás munkaviszonya megszűnése vagy megszüntetése esetén a vendégmunkás ország-elhagyási kötelezettségével kapcsolatos, illetve a vendégmunkás foglalkoztatása meg nem kezdésére, foglalkoztatása megszűnésére vonatkozó bejelentési kötelezettségének az egy naptári éven belül általa Magyarországra hozott vendégmunkások létszámának 30%-a esetében nem tesz eleget, a munkáltató vagy a fogadó szervezet a bírság kiszabásának időpontjától számított 2 évig a meglévő vendégmunkás állományán túl további vendégmunkást nem alkalmazhat.
