Dear All, Can anyone advise of the steps I need to take when leaving Hungary after 5 years? I will return to the UK but is there a process in Budapest I have to go through to notify people I have left and it is done cleanly? eg with residence cards, ...

Shipping personal items across Europe by EuropaExpat
Hello! Within a few months I聮m planning to move from the Netherlands to Hungary. I will need to pack and send personal things from Amsterdam to Budapest so I聮m looking for a decent and reliable transport company to do this. I don聮t have too much to ...

Theft Warning
Ahh that's shit. Out of curiosity, I take it you're living in central Pest, given the districts you mentioned? 9.30 in the morning in a busy part of the city is a pretty bold move for a break-in. Read More
How good is the online shopping in Hungary? by onlyablur
Hi all We do more than half of our shopping online (food, clothes, books, electronic products etc). We are moving to Hungary soon, and I wonder if the online shopping businesses are quite established in Hungary? How does it compared to the UK? ...
Just curious, what do you consider "pricey" for some of these items you're referring to? Read More

Got a little question... has anyone directly converted a non- European car driving license to a Hungarian one before? It was my understanding that probably only European ones could be converted without the need to do any driving tests etc (so just ...
