1.) NOTIFICATION OF RESIDING ABROAD

If you are establishing a permanent residence in Taiwan, it is recommended that you register this in Hungary. This means that your residence in Hungary will cease to exist and you will be included in the Hungarian registers as a ‘Hungarian citizen living abroad’.

a) Register online or in Hungary

The easiest and fastest way to do the registration is using the eGovernment service, the so-called Client Gate (ügyfélkapu), or in person in Hungary at a government window (Kormanyablak) or district office (Kormányhivatal). In the latter case, you will immediately receive your new address card that will display the following: ‘Residence: Foreign Address’ (without any further specification).

b) In person at the Hungarian Trade Office

The procedure of the application is expected to take up to 3 months, as the application is sent to Hungary to the government window or district office of your Hungarian address and your newly issued address card will be mailed afterwards to our Office.

The application may only be submitted in person, by prior appointment only. Please note that children between the ages of 14-18 must appear in person and sign the forms as well. For the application of minors (under the age of 18), both parents must be present as a general rule.

Documents to be submitted:

  • Original address card containing the Hungarian address
  • Valid Hungarian ID card or passport
  • If the applicant is not unmarried: Hungarian marriage certificate
  • In case of minor applicants: Hungarian birth certificate


2.) NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES IN YOUR FOREIGN ADDRESS

As a Hungarian citizen living abroad you can also report your address change abroad. In this case, there is no need to change your current address card, as it will still have the inscription: ’Residence: foreign address’.

a) Register online

The easiest and fastest way is to register the change online via the Web Assistant available here  (it is not necessary to have a Client Gate registration!).

b) In person at the Hungarian Trade Office

The application may only be submitted in person, by prior appointment. Please note that children between the ages of 14-18 must appear in person and sign the forms as well. For the application of minors (under the age of 18), both parents must be present as a general rule.

Documents to be submitted:

  • Original Hungarian address card
  • Valid Hungarian ID card or passport
  • In case of minor applicants: Hungarian birth certificate
  • Application form to register/amend the data of Hungarian citizens living abroad (at the bottom of the page) duly filled out

The service is free of charge.

 

3.) REGISTERING IN THE ELECTRONIC DOMESTIC REGISTRY AS A HUNGARIAN CITIZEN LIVING ABROAD

If the Hungarian citizen is not included in the personal data and address register (e.g. because they have never had a permanent residence in Hungary or they have a passive status due to any reason), they can apply to register as citizen living abroad. Once registered, an address card marked with the inscription ‘Residence: foreign address’ will be issued. Please note that in certain procedures, it is mandatory for this to be done (e.g. when applying for a passport and the consular officer finds that the person is not currently in the register).

The application may only be submitted in person, by prior appointment. Please note that children between the ages of 14-18 must appear in person and sign the forms as well. For the application of minors (under the age of 18), both parents must be present as a general rule.

Documents to be submitted:

  • Valid Hungarian ID card or passport
  • If the applicant is not unmarried: Hungarian marriage certificate
  • In case of minor applicants: Hungarian birth certificate
  • Application form to register/amend the data of Hungarian citizens living abroad (at the bottom of the page) duly filled out

The service is free of charge. The procedure takes approximately 2-3 months.
