Yes, you can convert a Hungary work visa to permanent residency, but the process is not direct. To convert from a work visa to permanent residency, you must first fulfil the residency requirements, which require you to reside in the country for at least three continuous years with a valid permit, after which you may qualify for permanent residency in Hungary. However, some work permits, such as those for digital nomads with a White Card, cannot convert into permanent residency.
