I will be 60 in October next year so maybe that be the best time to apply if as you say the language requirement ceases to apply but I guess there's likely to be some test of language skills, no? My only thinking regarding dual citizenship is ... Read More

I would qualify through marriage and residency but the exam seems pretty tough and I'd need to improve my language skills and knowledge of the country. Just want to have some sort of protection in case the Brexit issue blows up. Read More

Online shopping in Hungary by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Shopping online can be far more convenient and offer greater choice than going into shops, be it grocery shopping or retail. Are there options for online shopping in Hungary? Which sites or apps do you use most frequently and ...
Wholly agree about David. He advised against delivery to me near Balaton because he couldn't find a courier with a freezer! Instead we met halfway with freezer boxes. The Italian sausages are wonderful and next time I will get some merguez as ... Read More

Restaurants by cdw057
Whereas I do like Hungary very much and live here for three years (people, mindset, nature , prices, taxes, ...), The things I miss are supermarkets with a very wide choice (I lived in Netherlands, UK and Luxembourg) as well as different restaurants ...
Hmmm I know the feeling. We moved here permanently in August and there are some things I really miss; decent authentic pizzas, restaurants and pub food, decent supermarkets and the wide choice of vegetables available. That said I knew what I was ... Read More

In retrospect, would you move again to Hungary? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Hungary, would you heartily say "let聮s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
We're moving to HU this summer. I have sold up in UK and we have an apartment (v small) in Bp and a large property in Kapolcs which will be our main base. Really going to miss England and Tunbridge Wells; the shops, the availability of good food ... Read More

Hi Did you get an answer? We are moving to our house in July and were thinking about getting curtains to bring with us from UK because my HU wife reckons we can't buy lined curtains in Hungary. Is this true? What did you end up doing? Thanks Read More
