From eligibility to approval
Hungary offers multiple routes to citizenship for those with Hungarian heritage. We'll help you identify which pathway applies to your situation.
If you can prove that you had a Hungarian ancestor (parent, grandparent, or further back) who was a Hungarian citizen, you may be eligible to reclaim citizenship through descent.
Best for: Those with documented Hungarian ancestors who held Hungarian citizenship
Ethnic Hungarians (those of Hungarian heritage) can apply for citizenship through a simplified, preferential naturalization process. This pathway is faster and requires less documentation.
Best for: Those who can prove Hungarian ethnicity and learn basic Hungarian
Understanding the requirements is the first step. Here's what you need to know for each pathway.
You must demonstrate that you have a direct Hungarian ancestor (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc.) who was a Hungarian citizen.
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, and citizenship documents proving an unbroken lineage from your Hungarian ancestor to you.
Your ancestor must have held Hungarian citizenship at the time of relevant events (typically birth or naturalization elsewhere).
Hungarian citizenship must not have been voluntarily renounced in your ancestral line.
Applicants must have a clean criminal record and not pose a threat to national security.
Pro Tip: Historical border changes may affect your eligibility. We'll help you navigate complex territorial considerations.
You must credibly demonstrate Hungarian ethnicity or heritage through family connections, cultural ties, or community involvement.
Basic Hungarian language skills are required. You'll need to pass an interview demonstrating conversational Hungarian.
Family documents, birth certificates, and evidence of Hungarian heritage (church records, community membership, etc.).
No criminal record and no threat to Hungarian national security or public order.
You must be willing to take an oath of allegiance to Hungary upon approval.
Pro Tip: We can connect you with Hungarian language tutors and help you prepare for the interview.
