Living (illegally) in Budapest

23 years ago
I was just wondering if anybody out there can tell me how easy it is to get away with living illegally in Budapest.

I'm planning to move there this fall. A few years ago I lived illegally in Prague for six months and had no problems, but because I'm a paranoid (and law-abiding) sort, I wondered if I could easily get away with it in Budapest too.

Can you just go to Vienna every three months and magically be "legal" again for another three months?

Many thanks for any and all advice.
