We are moving to Budapest for about a year and need to find a rental house/apartment. Does anyone know the name(s) of rental agencies in Budapest? Might there also be a website with classified ads for rentals (in English)?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions! westcoa replied on May 25, 2013 with:
Hello,
My wife said she was contacted by someone but maybe it was another Expat member? Here is her information again. Please let her know her husband recommended her. Good luck. And although I think your Budget may be a tad low she may be able to find something for you. Good luck. I copied her on this email so she can try and contact you as well. If you can it would be helpful to have your peronal email address as the Expat Exchange blocks it.

Hello
We are moving to Budapest from Harare in several months.
Appreciate receiving information regarding potential suburbs to live with good public transport network to District 5. Our work place will be in District 5 but we understand we can only find apartments/flats there.

You said you have a green card well if you do not return to the USA approx every 6 months you could lose it
i have stayed, almost a year and everything was ok Your tax situation depends on if you are working or retired I have pensions payed into a U.S. Bank and use cards at the banks or cash machines

You do not have to work in Hungary to receive their health insurance, if you are a citizen (apply for it, well worth it), you can receive it for a very low cost. Like under $300 a year, including everything. If you want it completely free, then you do have to work there, I don't know what the rules are for that. For non-citizens, out of pocket costs are reasonable, a fraction of what it is in the US. This is with no insurance. I don't know exact amounts. I do know it's doable.

speedwell initially posted:
Folks, I apologize if this has been answered in previous posts. I can't find much that seems to pertain to my case. Thanks for any answers you can give me to the following questions:
My father was an emigrant to the US in late 1956 or early 1957, and to the best of my knowledge he subsequently naturalized as a US citizen around 10 years later. (I don't know the exact date. My father has since died and I am unable to get his naturalization records because the US gives them only to the naturalized citizen.) I was born in 1966 in the US and I hold US citizenship.
Did my father lose his Hungarian citizenship automatically by naturalizing as a US citizen?
Assuming my father did not lose his Hungarian citizenship through naturalization as a US citizen, and did not renounce his Hungarian citizenship voluntarily, was he still considered a Hungarian citizen until his death a few years ago?
How do I find out whether my father was considered by Hungary to be a Hungarian citizen? What information do I need to supply, and where do I need to write, to establish and verify the facts of my father’s Hungarian citizenship?
Assuming my father was a Hungarian citizen when I was born, am I a Hungarian dual citizen by parentage, according to the Hungarian law that says a person is a Hungarian citizen if their parent was a Hungarian citizen?
If I am a Hungarian citizen under this law, how do I obtain proof of my Hungarian citizenship? agentxphoenix replied most recently with:
If you want to know about your father's citizenship, you need to research that. Try family, birth certificates, etc. If the place he's from was a Hungarian territory, he was Hungarian.
You may have a lot of work ahead of you! My great-grandfather was from a little town that was once Hungary, but is now Romania...and it has a different name!
agentxphoenix replied most recently with:
No matter who you are or where you were born (or where your parents were born), if you want citizenship, you MUST apply for it with the relevant paperwork. It is never granted automatically unless you were born there.
And to become a citizen of Hungary (which I did last May), you MUST speak Hungarian. I can not stress this enough. You will absolutely be denied (after you've paid fees and done the hoop-jumping) if you do not speak Hungarian.
My father and sister were denied because they did not speak Hungarian, but I do.

CanadianSam44 initially posted:
I have left Hungary in 1969 and ended up in Canada.
Haven't visited the old country very often and because of that
I know very little about it.However I'm retired and thinking
of moving back there permanent. Like to ask a few questions from some one
who has been in a similar situation. In the last two years I maneged
to re establish my Hungarian Citizenship now I have a dual Citizenship.
There is a lot of things one accumulate over 40 plus years and I wonder about
how costly is shipping things from Canada to Hungary.
I also had some bad experience with the Hungarian customs. Wonder if I would
have to pay tax or duty on the things I would bring in.If that is the case I better sell things
here and try to replace over there. If some of you could gave me some advise would much
appreciate.Any suggestion about movers Grazka replied most recently with:
We come from Australia to Hungry last year. We are happy here but obviously not everything was easy on the way. We took only personal stuff and sold all furniture because the cost of shipping it was very big.We had quotes around 12 000 AUD. The Hungarian custom is very hard to deal with. They will charge you for everything what they can. They will keep boxes longer so they can charge money for every extra day. You need to pay tax for the value over $1350 ( dont remember exact sum but is something like that). We had lots of stuff stolen from the boxes.....everything what was on the list and had some value was gone.You need to pay also the port costs.....
So from my point of view absolutely is not wort to bring anything with you. Some personal items just send by parcels or take with you.
If you have more questions write to me.
Good luck with your relocation.Grazka
