Hungary Ranks as the Easiest Nation to Move to, and Brits Know it

Over the last ten years, Hungary has seen many more foreigners settle in the country. In fact, the number of expats now living in Hungary is 61 percent higher than in 2013. These figures showed people from Slovakia and Ukraine were arriving in significant numbers. This was as well as an influx of German immigrants.

One country that’s got loads of people seemingly itching to move abroad is the UK. For a long time, France and Spain were taking in the glut of wantaway Brits. Since Brexit, though, those nations have made immigration from the UK much tougher. So, the Brits are looking elsewhere. It turns out that Hungary is the easiest place to move to.

Hungary tops the charts for expat ease

In March this year, it was revealed that Hungary is the easiest place for expats to relocate to. Topping the charts below Hungary, per the report, were Malta and then Austria. The ranks were established by creating a difficulty score. Hungary’s clocked in at 3.85 – with low figures being better. After Hungary came the 3.87 of Malta.

The key selling points for Hungary are its low salary threshold (£12,982) and lack of a language test requirement. Both Malta and Austria have high expat populations. Yet, Hungary topped them all and stands as the best place for would-be immigrants to explore. Hungary is also found to be a great place for digital nomads to relocate to.

People who come on a non-EU White Card get a one-year visa. They can be employed remotely outside of the country but do need to stay for at least 90 days within a six-month period. Plus, over the first six months, you won’t be taxed by Hungary. The caveat is that you can’t work for a Hungarian company on the White Card.
