Your Seamless Move to the Heart of the Danube
Hungary is a country of stunning contrast, from the grand imperial architecture of Budapest to the rolling vineyards of Eger and the tranquil shores of Lake Balaton. Whether you are relocating for a high-tech career in the capital, a teaching position in Debrecen, or a lifestyle change in the historic city of Pécs, moving to Hungary in 2026 is an adventure in culture and history.
However, an international relocation of over 1,000 miles across the European continent requires meticulous planning. In the post-Brexit landscape of 2026, removals to Hungary involve navigating specific EU customs protocols and the “Smart Border” transit systems. At Pask’s Removals, we specialise in “Making Moving Easy.” We handle the logistics and the red tape so you can focus on your new life in Central Europe.

Navigating Hungarian Customs in 2026
Since the UK is a “third country” relative to the EU, your move to Hungary must be correctly documented to avoid the standard 27% Hungarian VAT (the highest in the EU). To import your household goods duty-free, you must qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) status.
The Requirements for Duty-Free Entry
The Hungarian Customs Authority requires specific evidence to prove you are moving your primary home. Key requirements include:
-
12-Month UK Residency: Proof you have lived in the UK for the last year (Utility bills, Council Tax, or bank statements).
-
6-Month Ownership: Items must have been owned and used by you for at least six months.
-
Proof of Hungarian Residency: A copy of your Hungarian residence permit, address card (Lakcímkártya), or a signed employment contract.
-
Detailed Inventory: A comprehensive, valued packing list translated into Hungarian. Don’t worry—our team helps you prepare this to satisfy border officials.
New for 2026: The EKÁER System While primarily for commercial goods, some large-scale removals may require registration in the Electronic Public Road Trade Control System (EKÁER). Our move managers stay updated on these 2026 regulations to ensure your van isn’t held up at the Hegyeshalom border crossing.

Living in Hungary: 2026 Tips for Newcomers
The “Lakcímkártya” (Address Card) This is one of the most important documents you will receive. It proves your registered address and is required for everything from getting a local SIM card to registering for healthcare. You should apply for this at a Kormányablak (government window) shortly after arrival.
The Tax Card and TAJ Card If you are working in Hungary, you will need a Tax Identification Number and a TAJ card (health insurance card). The administrative process can be paperwork-heavy, so keep multiple copies of your UK proof of residency and employment contract handy.
Sunday Trading Laws While many shops are open on Sundays in Hungary, it is generally considered a day for family. In residential areas, it is polite to avoid loud domestic work or moving heavy items on a Sunday morning.
