The new school year starts today in Hungary. 🎒📚

September 1 has been the traditional first day of school in Hungary for many decades, marking the start of the academic year in primary and secondary schools across the country. Nearly two million students are heading back to school this morning, including around 90,000 first-graders who are experiencing their very first day.

Expect significantly heavier traffic than usual this morning, both on the roads and on public transport. If you're driving, please take extra care and stay alert!

If you’re a parent and this applies to you too, we wish you and your children a great start to the new school year!

Home loans for foreign nationals in Hungary 🏠💵
If you're planning to buy a property in Hungary and need financing, you may be eligible for a range of both standard and government-supported mortgage options.

The most important requirements are a registered permanent address in Hungary and a Hungarian tax identification number. In most cases, banks also require applicants to have an open-ended employment contract.

It's worth requesting offers from several banks, as lending conditions, required down payments, and costs can vary significantly. Some banks may have different lending policies depending on the applicant's nationality.

Foreign nationals who hold a long-term residence status in Hungary may also qualify for subsidized home loan programs, in addition to standard market-rate mortgages. These programs have specific eligibility requirements, which we'll cover in more detail in a future post.

In the meantime, if you need assistance with buying property or navigating the Hungarian real estate market, feel free to contact us at: [email protected].

KATA is one of the most tax-efficient options for small businesses in Hungary, with a flat monthly tax of just HUF 50,000. 🚀
Here are the key things you should know:

✅ KATA is available only to full-time sole traders. If you already have a regular salaried job, you are not eligible.
✅ Your annual revenue cannot exceed HUF 18 million. If you go over the limit, the excess amount is subject to an additional 40% tax.
✅ You may invoice private individuals only. Under the current rules, invoicing companies is not permitted.

You can choose KATA whether you're starting a new business or switching an existing sole proprietorship to this tax scheme. To qualify, you'll need a Hungarian social security number (TAJ number), and your KATA registration will take effect on the first day of the following month.

Fireworks will light up the skies this Thursday as Hungary celebrates its national holiday. 🎆

On August 20, Hungary commemorates the founding of the Hungarian state more than a thousand years ago and honors its first king, Saint Stephen. If you're planning to join the celebrations, here are a few highlights:

🔹 The Street of Hungarian Flavours at Várkert Bazár is a must for food lovers. Visitors will have the first chance to taste the winner of the 2026 Cake of Hungary competition, featuring two unusual mandatory ingredients this year: cottage cheese and sour cream.
🔹 The Festival of Folk Arts at Buda Castle showcases the work of traditional Hungarian artisans. This year's spotlight is on pottery, with beautiful handcrafted pieces on display and available for purchase.
🔹 At 9:00 PM, the celebrations culminate in a spectacular fireworks and laser show over the Danube. Large crowds are expected, so arriving early is highly recommended.

The holiday also brings a four-day long weekend. Our office will reopen on Monday, August 24, and we'll be happy to assist you then.

In Hungary, the minimum wage is set by law. 💵
For a full-time position (8 hours per day), the current gross monthly minimum wage („minimálbér) is HUF 322,800. Positions that require at least a secondary-level vocational qualification are subject to a higher guaranteed minimum salary („garantált bérminimum”), currently HUF 373,200 gross per month.

For part-time employees working six or four hours a day, these minimum amounts are reduced proportionally.

If an employer offers you less than the applicable legal minimum, or if your company intends to hire someone below the statutory minimum wage, this is a violation of Hungarian labor law.

If you apply for work permit than based on the exact position higher salary amounts are applicable as foreigner.

If you’d like to learn more about the tax rules relating to the minimum wage or find out which positions qualify for the guaranteed minimum salary, feel free to get in touch with us.

Permanent residence cards for family members of EU or Hungarian citizens expire by August 3! ⏳
(Due to EU regulations to avoid technical risks of these cards, so called ÁTK.)

This change affects third-country nationals who live in Hungary as family members of Hungarian or other EU citizens and hold a permanent residence card issued between 2016 and 2021.

Important: Even if the card expires, they can continue to reside in Hungary legally and do not need to leave the country.

However, they should apply as soon as possible to replace their current card with either an EU permanent residence card or a Hungarian national permanent residence permit. To avoid potential complications, we strongly advise against travelling abroad with an expired residence card.

If you need assistance with the application process, feel free to contact us at: [email protected].

Hungary’s Consulate in Tehran has reopened! 🇮🇷
The security situation in the Persian Gulf appears to have stabilized, and with no recent hostilities reported in the Iranian capital, Hungary’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the reopening of its diplomatic mission in Tehran.

This means that Iranian nationals no longer need to travel to Hungarian embassies in other countries to submit their visa applications – they can now complete the process in Tehran once again. Also the Embassy is ready to certify documents issued in Iran.

If you need assistance with booking an appointment or handling your application, feel free to contact us at: [email protected].

We’re proposing a new framework for Hungary’s work permit system. 💡

The Anchor legal team has worked together with immigration experts, chambers of commerce, HR professionals, and other industry specialists to prepare a policy proposal for the Hungarian government.

The current framework is fragmented, difficult to navigate, and burdened by numerous restrictions and exceptions. As a result, many highly qualified professionals are unable to take up employment in Hungary, despite the clear demand for their skills. Our goal is to create a system that better reflects the real needs of the economy.

Our proposal is built around just two standard permit categories: the existing EU Blue Card, as required under EU legislation, and a Hungarian Work Permit. Applications for the latter would be assessed individually by the authorities. At the same time, the current country-based restrictions – which completely exclude workers from many countries – would be abolished.

We have submitted our proposal to the government for professional consultation and will keep you updated on any developments.

Hungarian business news outlet Portfolio.hu has published a detailed article about our proposal. We’ll share the link in the comments. 👇👇
