What are the most challenging aspects of retiring in Budapest?

"Nothing to mention which is very serious. Patience was required In Toronto at the Hungarian consulate when I was submitting my citizenship application. From the time I made the application in Toronto to the time I received the paperwork in Budapest it was a year. Mainly due to some inefficiencies in Toronto. Yes you have to have patience with the immigration office because you may have paper work, missing then have to return. Of course I did everything myself but there are great immigration lawyers in Budapest who can manage the process for you," said another expat in Budapest, Hungary.

"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Budapest is the language barrier. Although English is widely spoken, many of the locals may not be able to communicate in English, making it difficult to navigate the city and access services. Additionally, the cost of living in Budapest is relatively high, making it difficult to live comfortably on a fixed income. Furthermore, the healthcare system in Hungary is not as advanced as in other countries, making it difficult to access quality medical care. Finally, the cultural differences between Hungary and other countries can be difficult to adjust to, making it difficult to feel at home in a new country," wrote a member who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.
