Common questions

How can I move to Hungary?
The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit, visa applications. The reference section describes 14 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.
What services can I arrange in Hungary?
2 options across 5 areas: residence permit, visa applications, crypto exchange, flights, short-term stays, car rental, VPN abroad, health insurance and 4 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.
Can services in Hungary be arranged remotely, without flying in?
No: every service in this country requires you to be there in person - usually for biometrics, a signature at the bank or filing at a consulate. What exactly has to be done in person is covered on a free consultation before any work starts.
What does a consultation cost, and is there a markup on top?
The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.
After how many years can I get citizenship by naturalisation in Hungary?
The standard naturalisation route in Hungary takes from 8 years of legal residence (residence permit → permanent residence → passport). Faster routes: Ethnic Hungarians (the diaspora), on passing a language exam — no residence requirement at all; marriage while resident — 3 years. This is a 2026 guide - the exact term depends on the route, and we'll confirm it on a consultation.
