Hungary - flag Hungary - Passport & Nationality - Hungarian Citizenship - Hungarian Ancestry

The current Hungarian nationality law came into force in 1993. Changes made in January 2011 meant that any person who was a descendant of a Hungarian citizen may apply to become a Hungarian citizen, even if they do not live in Hungary.

The key requirements are:

 - you have Hungarian parents or grandparents; OR
 - you can trace your heritage to Hungary through an ancestor.

You are only required to provide proof of your ancestry and pass a basic language test. The process is called "Simplified Naturalization", as opposed to the regular process where you have to be a resident of Hungary for 8 years before you can apply for citizenship. The relevant parent(s) or grandparent(s) do not need to still be alive.

Hungary is a member of the European Union. As a result, an Hungarian passport holder can live and work in any of the EU member states (including Ireland). Subject to what is written above, Dual Nationality (the right to hold a nother nationality) is allowed.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
