Budapest

If you are a U.S. citizen, getting a second citizenship in Europe will broaden your options for travel, residency and life in general. In Europe, Hungarian citizenship is among the easiest to obtain, so it is worth checking if you are eligible.

Every year, a contest is held to select the cake of Hungary. The decision is made early August, in time for the 20 August celebrations. The holiday is sometimes also jokingly called the birthday of Hungary – since the date commemorates the foundation of Hungary more than a 1,000 years ago. The winner of the contest will be available all over Hungary during the celebrations and in the following period.

While Hungary does have an investment immigration program, it does not offer citizenship. Instead, you can get Hungarian residency for yourself and your family members for 10+10 years. Read on to find out what that means.
