Healthcare, taxes & language
The decisive three for a longer stay in Hungary.
Healthcare
Universal public insurance (NEAK) covers residents, but waits are long and many expats use private clinics in Budapest, Debrecen and Szeged.
Taxes
Tax residents are taxed on worldwide income at the flat 15% personal income tax rate, subject to relief under Hungary's double tax treaties, which commonly assign pension taxing rights to one state only.
English
High — English is common among younger people and in Budapest tourism, business and private healthcare, but less so among older or rural residents.
