The European Parliament and the Council have reached a landmark agreement on the new Common European System for Returns, marking the most significant EU immigration reform in recent years. Aiming to replace the outdated 2008 Return Directive, this new regulation introduces a unified “European Return Order” to harmonize deportation procedures across all 27 member states. Key updates include the mutual recognition of return decisions, stricter enforcement rules for non-cooperation, and the highly debated introduction of external “return hubs.” Read the full analysis by Dr. Mariann Minkó-Miskovics to explore how these structural changes and fundamental rights safeguards will reshape European migration policy and impact international law.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTDr. Mariann Minkó-Miskovicshttps://mmmlegal.hu/from-the-lawyer-with-love-immigration-law/https://mmmlegal.hu/from-the-lawyer-with-love-immigration-law/“Lawyers play a pivotal role in the Hungarian immigration process, which is often intricate and subject to changing legal standards.

All partner countries are legally considered third countries under Hungarian immigration law, which means applicants must comply simultaneously with immigration regulations, Stipendium Hungaricum rules, and university policies. Failure to meet immigration requirements may result in serious consequences, regardless of scholarship eligibility. This article highlights why understanding Hungarian immigration law is essential for all Stipendium Hungaricum applicants.Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMTDr. Mariann Minkó-Miskovicshttps://mmmlegal.hu/working-with-a-student-permit-in-hungary/https://mmmlegal.hu/working-with-a-student-permit-in-hungary/Can international students work in Hungary with a student residence permit? Yes – but only within strict legal limits. While Hungarian immigration law allows students to work part-time during the academic term and full-time during official breaks, the student residence permit remains education-based and not employment-focused. Exceeding permitted working hours, informal employment, or tax non-compliance may lead to serious immigration consequences, including permit revocation. This article explains what is allowed, what is prohibited, and the legal grey zones international students should be aware of when working in Hungary.Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMTDr. Mariann Minkó-Miskovicshttps://mmmlegal.hu/hu/vallalkozasi-szerzodes-vs-megbizasi-szerzodes/https://mmmlegal.hu/hu/vallalkozasi-szerzodes-vs-megbizasi-szerzodes/Vállalkozási vagy megbízási szerződés? A két szerződést sokan összekeverik, pedig jogilag lényeges különbségek vannak köztük. Vállalkozási szerződésnél egy konkrét eredmény elérése a cél (pl. weboldal készítése), míg megbízási szerződés esetén a folyamatos, gondos munkavégzés áll a középpontban (pl. tanácsadás). Egy jó szerződés pontosan meghatározza a feladatot, a díjazást, a felelősségi köröket és a megszűnés feltételeit. Ezek tisztázása mindkét felet védi – és sok későbbi vitát előz meg. Szerződés készítése vagy átnézése esetén érdemes ügyvédhez fordulni.Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMTDr. Minkó-Miskovics Mariannhttps://mmmlegal.hu/passive-semester/https://mmmlegal.hu/passive-semester/Passive semester during your studies in Hungary: safe choice or serious risk? Many international students studying in Hungary consider taking a passive semester, but few are aware of its immigration consequences. While a passive semester does not automatically lead to the loss of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship, it can result in the withdrawal of your residence permit for study purposes. Hungarian immigration authorities are informed directly by universities, and even a single passive semester may require the student to leave the country.
