Of course everything is not perfect, we've already identified issues on IE, we will release our fist fixes tomorrow, and will improve the website little by littleYou may wanna correct that. So far, what do you think about this new version ... Read More
Internet Security by fidobsa
I use a lot of internet forum sites but over the last couple of years I've had quite a few problems with accessing certain sites because I'm in Hungary. If sites are getting spam or virus attacks originating in eastern Europe they are quite likely ...
You're doing something wrong then, as I have been able to access all my websites with no problems at a very high speed. Haven't noticed any wide ban. Unless you go to some dodgy websites, that is :) Read More
Renting flexibility? by MikeyMcD
Hey, Can anyone tell me how flexible contracts are in Budapest when it comes to renting apartments? For example, can you rent monthly and leave when you wish (with notice) or gain short term contracts, like 3 months? In the UK, leases or ...
Pretty much the same as in the UK, depending on the contract you sign. Read More

Hello everyone, I am from New Jersey, America, but now I live in Budapest. I have been here for about 2-3 months now, but somehow I still have not managed to get to know many people or find friends. Being alone in Budapest is really boring. So ...
And damnit, szocske, stop changing your avatar so much!What did I do?? I never had one, got one of the default toilet-door ones assigned automatically somewhere down the road, and now that the whole family has expatriated, I switched to a "whole ... Read More

Need Urgent Attention by Rohin
I am new here - I have been reading all the topics about similar cases like ours, and I am not too optimistic about it.i am Hungarian EEU Citizen married to Indian citizen who comes under third country citizen law of Sehgen visa we have our ...
In my opinion you'll need a visa... By marrying a Hungarian citizen you will no doubt receive a Szchenan Visa permitting you to live and work in all Szchenan countries, UK did not join the initiative so you will probably need a permit. My suggestion ... Read More
Interested to meet new friends in Budapest by gosubmit
I am new to Budapest and very much interested to meet new friends. Not having any friends is killing me here and it's too boring and lonely. I speak fluent English. Drop me a mail if you are interested to make new friends. May be we could have a ...
Seems a load of people are willing to meet, but nobody wants or dares to actually arrange or set it all up. Understandable though, loads of places to choose and to arrange it all in a fashionable time for everyone is hard. :p I will try to ... Read More

Online Tax Return by fidobsa
Just tried to do my UK tax return online like I did last year. My address details are already in the system but now it won't accept them as I don't have a UK postcode. Have they changed the rules so people outside UK can no longer do returns online? ...
It's the same with the Dutch Tax Return, each citizen in Holland has a code called the DigiD. As I am no longer a Dutch citizen, my DigiD is no longer valid and I can no longer do anything online regarding my taxes and my car. So, presumably, yeah, ... Read More

Bringing car to Hungary by Disq
Heya all, I have been reading a lot of topics here about cars importing to hungary, but I didn't meant to hijack threads here, so I decided to create a new one. I am currently owning a car with dutch license plates, a Peugeot 205 Junior U9 from ...
One other thing I may have forgot to mention, I don't know how it is in other countries, but for dutch cars, you have to get the car checked at a certified dutch garage every year for that inspection (and fork over at least 100 for the check only, ... Read More
