The processing time for Hungarian citizenship applications can vary, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months. However, this timeline may be shorter for simplified naturalization cases or longer for more complex situations. Our immigration lawyers work diligently to ensure your application is processed as efficiently as possible. 


Yes, Hungary allows dual citizenship. This means you can retain your current citizenship while acquiring Hungarian citizenship. However, it's important to check if your home country permits dual citizenship, as regulations vary between nations. 


For standard naturalization, you need to pass a constitutional studies exam in Hungarian, which requires a basic understanding of the language. However, for simplified naturalization based on Hungarian ancestry, you must demonstrate fluency in Hungarian. Our team can provide resources and support to help you meet these language requirements. 


 Common required documents include:

  • Birth certificate
  • Marriage certificate (if applicable)
  • Proof of Hungarian ancestry (for simplified naturalization)
  • Criminal record certificate
  • Proof of residence in Hungary
  • Proof of livelihood
  • Hungarian language proficiency evidence


Our immigration experts will provide a comprehensive list tailored to your specific situation. 


Yes, once you become a Hungarian citizen, your spouse and minor children may be eligible for preferential naturalization. This typically requires three years of residence in Hungary. Additionally, if you obtain citizenship through Hungarian ancestry, your spouse and minor children may be eligible to apply simultaneously with you. Our immigration attorneys can guide you through the process of extending citizenship to your family members.
