Why Hungary?
Hungary offers one of Europe's most accessible citizenship by descent programs, known as "Simplified Naturalization." If you can prove Hungarian ancestry, you can obtain citizenship — and a powerful EU passport — relatively quickly. Hungary is also increasingly attractive for business formation with competitive EU tax rates.

Citizenship Requirements
Hungarian simplified naturalization requires proving Hungarian ancestry (parent, grandparent, or earlier) and demonstrating basic Hungarian language proficiency. The Jerz Group helps trace your lineage, prepare documentation, and even connects you with Hungarian language resources to prepare for the interview.
