When you become a Hungarian citizen, the Hungarian name you register must conform to the Hungarian writing system. If you have a name with foreign characters, you will need to change your name; otherwise, you can keep your old name.

Are you interested in Hungarian citizenship, but worried about the language requirements? Depending on the procedure under which you apply for citizenship, you might not need to speak Hungarian at all! And if you do, we would be happy to help you out with a preparatory course.

Whether you are planning a shorter visit or a longer stay, Budapest offers a wide range of fun activities. This is why every year it keeps being included in various “best of” and “top 10” lists. In 2025, its first win comes from Time Out magazine, where it is listed as the second-best place for a city break in 2025.
