American Working/Living in Hungary visa/permit question!?

Hello all!

I am an American and I am trying to figure out what I need to qualify for a residence permit and then a work permit in Hungary. I am going to be teaching English and I have a job offer and will have a residence with the school.

From what I understand thus far I need a work permit and a residence permit. I believe for the residence permit I need the following

1). a work permit (no idea what this is...or how to get it)
2). a contract of employment
3). a document certifying occupancy in Hungary (this seems easy enough?)
4). a certificate on how the person will make a living until her receives his first salary (bank account statement)
5). certificate on character of the gainful activity (the articles of association ((articles of association/is this like tax forms/business license?))
6). the resolution on the court registration of the enterprise (business license?)
7). a document certifying occupancy in Hungary (rental agreement?)
8). A certificate on the acquisiton of the qualification necessary for filling the position (Native speaker, B.A. Accredited University 4 year degree, TEFL cert.)
9). A delaration, certificate on the expected yearly income (the contract)
10). A certificate of the amount of money at the person's disposal in Hungary (my bank account statements)
11). the simplified balance sheet of the previous year for a firm already operation (tax returns?)
12). a certificate that the firm has no public debt for a firm operating (I am not a tax guy so..no idea on why this is necessary)
13). if the firm has Hungarian Employees: their employment contracts (This you would have)
14). In case of a new enterprise: a brief business plan

Now how does one go about getting a work permit? Also does this need to be filed before I go to Hungary?

Thank you!!
