moving with wife & kids to Koszeg

8 years ago

Hello,
My family (wife is Hungarian) will be moving to Koszeg in about a year and a half or so and we are busy in the USA preparing for the big move. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psych. and a certificate for TESOL/TEFL as well. *I know about 200 words in Hungarian but do not speak the lang.
I was wondering how quickly I could receive my permanent residency card so I can work. My wife is Hungarian so I am assuming it will not be a long process. The sticky part is that I hear you cannot get this process approved BEFORE you leave but must apply in person in the town to start the process. Does anyone have experience with this? Does anyone want to chime in about living in and around Koszeg with kids, job prospects and healthcare in general, purchsaing a home I have a pretty good idea about the aforementioned topics but would love to get some opinions from people who are living there. Positives and negatives appreciated!
