What do I need to know before retiring in Budapest?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Budapest, they said...

"Before retiring in Budapest, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, Hungarian, as it is the official language of the country. Expats should also research the cost of living in Budapest, as it is generally lower than in other European cities. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system in Hungary, as it is a public system and may require additional private insurance. Finally, expats should research the visa requirements for retirement in Hungary, as there are specific requirements for those wishing to retire in the country," commented one expat who made the move to Budapest, Hungary.

"Stay clear of the public health system (there are good private alternatives). Stay clear of the police. Do not drink and drive. Enjoy the marvelous weather and the fresh produce," remarked another expat in Budapest, Hungary.
