My husband and I are planning to immigrate to Hungary from the USA but are having trouble getting answers to VISA questions. We are both retired with sufficient income to support ourselves and purchase a house when we get there. We need to know if we should apply for the long term residence VISA after we arrive or before we come. We plan to buy a house as soon as we arrive and had hoped to be in Hungary by January 15, 2014. Have any of you been through this process and, if so, would you share your experience with us?
