Pensions (or not) in Hungary by cdw057
Whereas pensions in Hungary are low (very low), I have seen that in our village, still quite lot of things are done for elderly people (gift packages, concerts, free transport, no taxes, or social contributions (health)...), in a way I am ...
@cdw057You asked what I think - well, what you wrote and how you wrote it suggests you don't live in Hungary. There could be no other reason for the wrongness of what you wrote. Unless you're a paid Fidesz supporter, still trying to perpetuate the ... Read More
Motorcycle registration ? by GSARider
Hi chaps, has anyone changed over a UK motorcycle to Hungarian plates? Looking to do so with my Bike. Car is a complete headache and I鈥檓 taking it back to the UK to sell.
@GSARider sadly, bikes are even harder than cars - they're expected to pass current emissions standards for an HU M疟szaki, and that's nigh on impossible unless under a couple of years old. You'll have to pay 10% duty and then 27% 脕FA, ... Read More

How to bring your car to Hungary by Bhavna
Hello everybody, If you exported your car to Hungary, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they? What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of ...
I charge 100ft/km for the round trip, which, as far as I can tell, is a typical rate :-) A search for 'automentes' on Google or Facebook should turn up many local contractors who can quote you their price. Read More

Nope!! The question was very clearly how to drive through Hungary 馃く Not how to drive into Hungary. Not how to drive out of Hungary. How to drive THROUGH Hungary 馃ゴ Read More

Thankyou for that SimCityAT 馃檲 Every time I do, there's a host of people that poopoo or argue with what I say, or just relate old, out of date information, or just 'imagine' scenarios - ALL of which are totally unhelpful, and ... Read More

Hello Sergio, This has already been acceptably answered since you asked - for me, as I do this regularly as a part of my commitment to helping expats, it's easy (if slow, due to cumbersome Bureaucracy) I don't often visit here, due to the ... Read More

Oh, please, people......... On the subject of motorcycle registration, Car related tales have NOTHING to do with motorbike registration here - I've been doing both for over a decade, the processes are similar but the details are TOTALLY ... Read More

Hello Gergely, I've been registering cars for a decade here, and, IMHO, this is TOTALLY not worth doing. Apart from 10% duty and 27%AFA, you'd have to jump through almost endless (costly) hoops to get it registered from outside the EU. ... Read More

Registering ANY vehicle from outside the EU is now ridiculously difficult - it wasn't easy before, but it's unbelievable. The last one I did took nearly 8 months - and don't forget, you'll pay 10% duty and 27% 'VAT' on the ... Read More

Moving from Poland to Hungary with my car by Guest56789
Hi! I tried to find some information about moving with my car to Hungary. I will be moving in Autumn for almost 2 years and then I plan to come back to Poland. I will definitely need my car in Hungary. It is a 14yo Volvo V70, diesel 2.4. From what I ...
No, it's no problem - and, yes, you are legally bound to do it (unless you go back regularly) It's only vehicles brought in from outside the EU that cause an issue. Read More
Vaccines required in Hungary by Diksha
Hello everybody, When living or moving abroad, and in particular in Hungary, vaccination against certain diseases is often required to enter the country or to avoid risks. We would like to ask you a few questions to help future expats ...
Indeed, as above - it's a bit of a weird question, because I've NEVER been asked for vaccination history entering or leaving ANY country within Europe 馃槼 EVER. Predictably, this holds as true for Hungary as for any other European ... Read More
