Citizenship Interview Preparation

I reached out to Helpers Hungary in January 2026 to assist with forming a company in Hungary and applying for Hungarian residency. From the very beginning, they responded promptly and provided clear, detailed information to all my inquiries. I would especially like to highlight Tala Shalati, who was incredibly supportive in addressing all my concerns and questions. As the process progressed, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Norbert, Emília, Krisztián, Kátya, Botond, Tímea, and László. Each of them has been highly professional, responsive, and efficient in ensuring that everything moved forward smoothly. With their assistance, my company has now been successfully established, and I am currently in the process of applying for my residence permit. So far, my experience with Helpers Hungary has been excellent, and I would highly recommend their services.

Me and my wife, who is now a holder of a residence permit in Hungary, were very happy with the service offered by Helpers, especially by Anna Köszegi. From the first meeting in Budapest, we understood that she is a dedicated professional willing to work in our best interest. Our process, although accompanied by some pitfalls along the way, was handled smoothly within a reasonable time. What I personally appreciated most was the responsiveness exhibited throughout the whole case. Any answer, we received within a day, when time-critical even quicker. This is quite impressive. I can only recommend this company and will certainly relate back whenever needed.

I had a great experience with Helpers Hungary, especially with Tala Shalati. She was incredibly professional, patient, and clear in explaining all residency options, making a complex process easy to understand. Even though I didn’t proceed with an application, Tala’s guidance helped me make informed decisions with confidence. Highly recommend her and the Helpers team for anyone exploring relocation to Hungary!

I worked with Hungary Helpers to obtain my Hungarian citizenship and I’m so grateful I did. My mother fled Hungary in 1956 and passed away when I was young. I had always wanted to pursue citizenship in her honor but had very little information or documentation to start with. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient, guiding me through every step of the process. Today I have my Hungarian passport and am officially a citizen. It means so much to me. Thank you to the entire team!

I reached out to Helpers Hungary in March of 2024 to find out if I was eligible to become a Hungarian Citizen through Hungary’s egyszerűsített honosítás (simplified naturalization) program. A few months earlier I had started researching my family tree and recently discovered I had living relatives in Hungary that I did not know about and thought this would be a nice way to honor my mother’s side of the family; also the possibility of having an EU passport was a very nice side benefit. I found out I was eligible and went though the initial consultation where I asked a ton of questions and found out they were able to help with everything from translating English-language birth certificates into Hungarian, finding my grandmother’s Hungarian birth certificate, filling out the cumbersome application forms and even recommending Hungarian Language Solutions for learning how to speak Hungarian. My grandparents, while born and raised in Hungary, spoke German so I never heard any Hungarian other than “paprika” and “palacsinta”. I had my interview at the Hungarian Consulate in New York in July 2025 and received my Hungarian Citizenship in March 2026. Learning the language is difficult enough and having Helpers Hungary focusing on most of the “grunt work”, allowed me to quickly focus on learning Hungarian.
