Hungarian citizenship is a sought-after way to restore family ties and secure new opportunities for future generations.
For many, it is not only a legal right but also a bridge to family history, a connection to ancestral roots, and above all an opportunity to open new doors across Europe and worldwide. Our firm specializes in providing full legal assistance in the process of obtaining Hungarian citizenship, with a strong emphasis on professionalism, transparency, and personal service every step of the way.
Who is Eligible for Hungarian Citizenship?
Hungarian law allows descendants of former Hungarian citizens to obtain citizenship, even if many generations have passed since the family left Hungary. Children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren of Hungarian citizens may be eligible, provided that the family connection can be properly documented.
This is considered a relatively generous law, as eligibility is not restricted to only the first or second generation. This means that for many families, especially descendants of Hungarian Jews who immigrated to Israel after the Holocaust or during events of the 20th century, there is a real possibility of obtaining citizenship even if their parents never held a Hungarian passport.
The Challenges Along the Way
Despite the openness of the law, the process itself is far from simple. Hungarian authorities require solid proof of the family connection, including birth and marriage certificates, and sometimes additional documents proving citizenship. This is often where complications arise: documents lost in the World Wars, clerical errors in old records, or certificates that were never reissued.
In addition, the procedure requires strict compliance: all documents must be submitted in Hungarian, translated and certified according to specific legal standards. Each step can become a frustrating obstacle that may cause lengthy delays or even rejection of the application.
