Hello! My husband and I are exploring the possibility of moving to Hungary, particularly Balaton. So far in my reading, I have not come across any information for those of us who are handicapped. I walk with a walker, but cannot walk far at all before tiring out. Are there handicap parking spaces? What about apartment buildings - are there provisions made for handicapped? Any and all advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Budapest and I've seen some handicapped parking spaces. And not all buildings make things handicapable. You'll also want to investigate getting an EU parking card for our disability.

Also, there are tax residency concerns that you may run into if you pursue being an EU citizen or permanent resident and it would be a good idea to talk to an accountant who specializes in tax treaties and tax residency status changes.
