Navigating the path back to Hungary
For official administrative matters related to returning home, the government-run hazavaro.gov.hu website provides detailed information. The Hazatartók community maintains contact with this initiative and, through the experiences of returnees, helps identify situations where practical questions or difficulties arise.
Our goal is to ensure that the experiences of returnees are not lost. When necessary, we pass on the issues and suggestions that arise within the community to decision-makers.
Entering the Hungarian job market
Finding employment is one of the greatest challenges many returnees face. Our association aims to better understand the experiences of returnees in this area and encourage dialogue between labour market stakeholders and decision-makers. In the longer term, we are working on initiatives that can help make the professional integration of returnees easier.
Education and Recognition of Qualifications
For families returning from abroad, an important issue is helping children integrate into the Hungarian education system and ensuring that qualifications obtained abroad are properly recognized. As these processes can often be complex, our association aims to gather the experiences of returnees and, when necessary, communicate them to the relevant decision-makers.
Reconnecting with the Community
Returning home is not only an administrative matter—it is also a personal and community process.
Through forums, meetings, and the sharing of experiences, the Hazatartók community helps returnees find one another and feel at home in Hungary again.
We help you navigate, rebuild your life, and settle in—step by step.
