Hi Guys
I would like to share my experience here with the national permanent residence permit application and hopefully some of you can better advise me and provide me with some good tips.
I live and work in HU since 2016 (almost 5 years) as a sales manager. I hold a residence permit with 2 years validity which I've already renewed 3 times.
Last year in 2019, I was already eligible to apply for a national permanent residence permit. So I did and it was sponsored by my employer (same as my residence permit). Unfortunately it was not approved. If my memories are good, the reasons given was the following:
- Not enough saving (I showed bank documents of about 3M HUF)
- No tie with the country
This year I had a baby girl with a Hungarian woman, she is 1 yr old now. So I tried to apply again this year considering my daughter as my tie, but still got a negative decision with the following reasons:
- Not enough saving (I showed bank documents of about 2M HUF)
- No tie with the country (real estate properties, etc. Material things that can keep me in the country)
- I don't own the place of accommodation where I live (all required documents from the owner were provided and submitted)
- My married status with a non Hungarian woman
- Criminal record from the country I lived before arriving in HU were 1 month expired. I actually submitted a valid one from my country of birth. I could not get a new one from the country I lived before HU due to the Covid and the expired one submitted last year shows a clean sheet (no record).
I'm tired...don't know what to do, thinking of abandon everything here, leave the country and settle down somewhere else.
I just can not understand how someone can live peacefully in a country, working and paying taxes of over 150K every month, having a country relationship (my daughter), well enough integrated and not being able to received a positive decision from the immigration office...well, I'm a black African !
I'm sorry to have been so long but thanks for reading until the end.
Have a great day.
