Would be nice if at least the English language mirror site works properly. Getting very tired of all the assist requests navigating the Ügyfélkapu portal… In all fairness to foreigners who are in some way in our administrative system, getting anything done is almost undo-able for the s//t official translations and terminology.

English translation of documentation in Hungary, especially Government documentation, mailed or by electronic data like Email – remains still non-existent in Hungary.
Dealing with the Immigration Department of the Hungarian Government, all documentation received from them, even though you appear present yourself before them rather than on-line residency permit application, telling them you don’t speak, read nor write Hungarian – they dismiss totally COMMUNICATING with you in my case in English.
Appalling – and wish I was of an Asian background they do in my numerous fronting visiting the Budafoki Department of Immigration of Hungary – blatantly receive preferential attention than I being of my primary language English.
We have lived in Budapest, Hungary just on 5 years under the Residency Permit arrangement that gives just 2 years of residency – and we are RETIRED aged over 60 & 70 – very self financially independent, then ALL through the application AGAIN procedures you go.
Hungary attention to communication response communication in English needed as we are in the 21st century and facilities in information technology, is AVAILABLE to communicate in English.
I have a feeling it will give the goverment more chances to bombard you with goverment self-righteousness how they make a mess of everything but it is someone or some other reason why something did or doesn’t work.
I still get emails from the goverment regarding when we had to register for the covid jabs. It is blood disgusting and I can’t block it..ok it ends up in junk email but still there we go..
