Hello everyone,
I am newbie to this forum even though I kept reading it for a while gathering very useful information t help us with transition to expat life in Budapest.
I am looking for some clarification related to an address card requirement for non-EU nationals who move to Hungary on resident permit (for retirement). I tried to do some research, but got very confused at the end of the day so I hope somebody on this forum with similar background and goals with help me, We will be applying for resident permit for other purposes (we are Canadian couple) and will move to Budapest in next few months. Question I have related to obtaining an address card (in addition to our resident permits cards).
Are we going to receive such address cards when we apply for resident permit and move to Budapest or it would be some kind of letter (not card) since we ARE not from EU? I have read that this address card is very important when you are setting up all your utilities, getting phone contracts,buying cards and resident permits do not have any info on the cards indicating your address.
If somebody with similar experience of moving to Hungary from non-EU (North America) country could clarify proper steps and situation with address card, we would appreciate your help
