I had a great experience with Helpers Hungary, especially with Tala Shalati. She was incredibly professional, patient, and clear in explaining all residency options, making a complex process easy to understand. Even though I didn’t proceed with an application, Tala’s guidance helped me make informed decisions with confidence. Highly recommend her and the Helpers team for anyone exploring relocation to Hungary!

I would like to express my gratitude to the team of Hungarian Helpers, Adam, Martin, Timea, Atilla, especially Tala, who has shown herself to be a professional employee, knowledgeable in all the processes of the company – I dedicate this review to her.
Thanks to Tale, all processes were coordinated great, she united the work of different departments and promptly answered all questions. Tala clearly explained all the stages of registration and the tasks that, thanks to her help, were solved very quickly.
I have extensive international experience with different service providers, but this time I was very pleasantly surprised by the very clear and well-coordinated work of the team.
And once again I want to note the irreplaceability of Tala, who has become my lifesaver in various matters. She always stayed in touch and gave feedback. I would also like this post to be read by the company’s management and special thanks to Tala in the form of bonuses and bonuses-)
Thanks to her well–coordinated work, efficiency in decision-making at the first meeting, we decided in favor of Helpers services and thanks to this, a new client appeared in your company in the person of us.
And for customers, such feedback – if you decide to interact with Hungarian Helpers – look for Tala, she will become your right hand in all matters!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Helpers Hungary to obtain a residence permit and set up a company as a foreigner, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From start to finish, the team at Helpers Hungary demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to helping me navigate the complex processes involved.
Their expertise and knowledge in handling residence permit applications were evident from our first interaction. They guided me through every step with clear instructions and timely updates, ensuring that I had all the necessary documents and information. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to their meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach.
Setting up a company in a foreign country can be daunting, but Helpers Hungary made it a seamless experience. They provided comprehensive support, from choosing the right business structure to handling all the legal formalities. Their local insights and understanding of the Hungarian business environment were invaluable, allowing me to make informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.
The team’s dedication to their clients’ success is truly commendable. They were always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and offer practical solutions. Their friendly and approachable manner made me feel at ease throughout the entire process.
In summary, Helpers Hungary exceeded my expectations in every way. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support were instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Helpers Hungary to anyone seeking assistance with residence permits or business setup in Hungary. They truly did a great job, and I am incredibly grateful for their outstanding service.

I was recently approved for simplified naturalization. I could not have done this without Mercedesz. She was able to locate my great grandparent’s birth certificates in Hungary, completed the application, arranged for official translation of my documents, and provided support along the way. I highly recommend working with this company and not attempting to do this on your own. It is an overwhelming experience and it is important that everything is completed accurately. The flat fee was very reasonable for the work they did. The entire process from start to finish was about 3 years. Mercedesz was there to help me at every step of the way.
