Absolutely Anything Else

I a sure they have instructions in English, since my husband was speaking in Hungarian she just handed him a sheet in HU. Big help!Big help since their online site is terrible to figure out, seems easy and straight forward at first but it again did not send out the promised code to know anything.I am sure they want people frustrated so they hire help;Just a heads up, be ready for a headache! - @Marilyn Tassy

This is good info.  I am not even sure I need to go there in person.  Maybe it's all at the kormanyablak for renewal.  I'm in a different situation to some.  I have the Brexit Article 50 card which means they must renew it under the same conditions as were agreed on the UK withdrawal from the EU.  RPs were issued on demand. 


Well, I'm assuming that they must renew it at least for 5 years but I'm thinking really it should be 10 years.  By then, the UK will be back in the EU.  If no-one knows how I think, what a moronic misadventure to leave the EU.  The queues at passports are endless. Minimum queueing period is now 1h extra as recommended by Wizzair in Europe.   What a muddle. 


I am still learning Hungarian as best I can. I think it's going to take a minimum of 1 year to be up to any level for getting citizenship.  I was working on 6 months to get at least 200 words in the right order.  It's more difficult than I thought.  I think I need 12 months to get to say, sufficient for an immigration cum citizenship interview.


Once I have the passport, adios to immigration and hello live anywhere in the EU.  Yay! Work this hard to get back what we already had.  I will never forgive those UK politicians who pushed Brexit. 


Anyways, EU has more queues than at US immigration (was when I went anyway, last time about 2023). I avoid the US now - too much Trumpian BS.   


I learnt my Canadian living daughter is now heading back to Australia.  She lived there 2 years previously.  They have visas for there but as she's almost 36, it'll run out so she has to get there before she's too old.  Probably easier for me to visit Melbourne or better, Brisbane, when I go out to the AP (Asia-Pacific) region.   Get to Singapore, then stay over and then direct to one of those towns and onward transit to the islands.   Only issue is the plane going via the Middle East.
