Becoming Hungarian: find your path to Hungarian citizenship with the experts

The speaker, Ms. Vivien Tóth, is the head of the citizenship team at Helpers. She knows all the types of citizenship procedures inside and out, which makes her the best person to ask to see if you are eligible and what steps you need to take. She also has extensive experience about what administrators will be looking for when reviewing applications.

The host, Anikó Woods, is a Canadian-Hungarian and the founder of How to Hungary – a trusted expat platform and author of the popular ebook “How to Hungary: Budapest & Beyond.” Her work combines practical advice, expert insights, and personal stories to help internationals understand, integrate, and enjoy life in Hungary.

The webinar will take 60 minutes or so on December 9, Tuesday, starting from 16:00 CET. During this time, Ms. Tóth and Ms. Woods will talk about the various paths to Hungarian citizenship, including:

• An overview of the application process
• Eligibility criteria for the three main options: naturalization, simplified naturalization, and verification
• Insight into what makes an application successful
• Common challenges and pitfalls to avoid
• Genealogy research and obtaining the documents that tie your family to Hungary
