Immigration
I still remember standing in another long airport queue, watching my European colleagues breeze through the “EU Citizens” line while I shuffled forward with my Canadian passport. That’s when it hit me – my Hungarian roots weren’t just sentimental; they could make travel so much easier. Today, with my Hungarian passport, I finally enjoy the freedom and Hungarian Passport Perks that come with belonging.

The Hungarian citizenship process is rarely straightforward. For me, it wasn’t just paperwork, it was a test of patience and persistence – and, if I’m honest, identity too. I’d always thought of myself as Hungarian; both my parents were, and my name, Anikó, left little doubt. But turning that into something official meant wading through Hungarian bureaucracy, tripping over missing documents, and learning on the fly. This is the story of how I finally made it official, and why I don’t regret a single step. – Guest post by Anikó Woods of How to Hungary.

Currently there is a wide variety of work permits available depending on the job and the background of the applicants. The Hungarian work permit is in fact a residence permit given for the purpose of work, but having children in Hungary is not supposed to affect the residency status while foreign workers will also be eligible for most Hungarian child benefits.
