EXPERTS I TRUST
Life in Hungary comes with details. Immigration rules shift. Healthcare works differently. Property contracts are precise. Even everyday admin can take longer than expected if you don’t know the system.
Over the years, I’ve built relationships with professionals who understand those details properly. These are people I’ve worked with, my community has relied on, and whose advice holds up in real situations – whether you’ve just arrived or you’ve been here for years.
You’ll also find them listed in my book, HOW TO HUNGARY: Budapest & Beyond because building a life here isn’t a one-time event. From immigration law and insurance to healthcare, language, and community, they provide clarity when it matters.
Szabolcs Miklós Sánta, LL.M.
Immigration Lawyer
Dr. Sánta is the immigration lawyer I trust. A regular voice in our newsletter and live events, he makes visas, residence, and appeals far less daunting. He works with non-EU individuals relocating to Hungary, spouses and families, students moving from study to work, and employers hiring international talent. With 15+ years’ experience – including cases before Europe’s top courts – he brings clarity and confidence to every stage of the process.
FirstMed Budapest
Private Healthcare Clinic
FirstMed is one of the private clinics I suggest when you want straightforward, English-speaking care in Budapest. Booking is simple, communication is clear, and you’re not left chasing referrals or test results. They also offer telemedicine appointments, which makes follow-ups and minor issues far easier to manage. From GP visits to diagnostics and specialist care, it’s a reliable option if you prefer a system that feels organised rather than improvised.
Eszter Balázs - 4theClients
Insurance Broker
Eszter is the person I trust with all my insurance – property, car, travel, health, you name it. She’s been a senior financial consultant with Generali Biztosító Zrt since 2005, and my whole family has worked with her for years. She speaks perfect English, is active in the expat community, and is as well known for her charity work as she is for her professionalism. Always ready with a smile, Eszter makes even the paperwork side of life in Hungary feel easy.
KLUSTER
Coworking Team House
KLUSTER is Budapest’s first community “team house,” built for groups of 2–20 who want to work and grow together. Their seven-storey building in the 5th District has all the modern coworking touches – meeting rooms, soundproof booths, even a Zen room – but the real magic is the community. I host our HOW TO HUNGARY live events there every month, and with Sára Ozorai leading community and content, it always feels more like a gathering place than an office.
