Important video message for British nationals living in Hungary – Watch here!
For those eligible under the UK/EU Withdrawal Agreement, the Hungarian government has now opened the applications for British citizens and their family members to apply for residency.
The process is free and simplified, and you have until the end of 2021 to apply. In the meantime, existing documents remain valid. Everyone needs to apply, even if you already have a registration certificate or permanent residence card. For more information, please watch the message of Paul Fox, British Ambassador to Hungary.

Just to save others a lot of trouble, the specific ‘slimmed down’ form required for UK Nationals who already have a Registration or Residency card is not available online and in any case you need your biometric data to be done by the authorities. The online booking system is not working for some reason so you have to phone to book an appointment. If you don’t speak Hungarian (basic level) you will need a Hungarian speaker because the people taking the calls don’t usually speak English. It will then need to be explained that you need both the biometrics and the new type of Residency card.
