Premium Relocation Management
Your Personal Concierge Service in Budapest
Obtaining a residence permit is only the first step. The real challenge begins after arrival: navigating a foreign country's property market, education system and official bureaucracy. First Immigration's relocation team works to make this transition seamless.
Property: Rent or Buy? As independent experts, we help you find your dream home. We are not estate agents — we are your advisors. Whether purchasing a Buda villa as an investment or renting a central city apartment, we pre-screen the market, conduct negotiations and review contracts legally, so that nothing catches you off guard.
Family Settlement We know that moving is hardest for children. We are familiar with every international school and kindergarten in Budapest (British, American, German and French systems). We assist with the admissions process and choice of institution, so your children receive the best education.

Who Are Our Packages For?
Our service is modular, adapting to any life situation:
-
Families: Where school, a safe neighbourhood and healthcare are the priorities.
-
Corporate Executives (Expats): For whom time is the most valuable resource and who expect a "turnkey" solution (immediate internet, furnished apartment).
-
Investors: Who combine relocation with property purchase and need full legal and land registry management.
The role of First Immigration: We are your local guide through the bureaucracy. Whilst others merely ask for your "address" for the paperwork, we help you actually get that address. Our dedicated relocation manager accompanies you through the tasks of your first weeks.
The Privileges of Citizenship
-
Legal Security: Every rental or purchase contract is reviewed by our solicitor. No hidden clauses.
-
Time Saving: We only show you pre-screened, relevant properties. We do not waste your time with unnecessary viewings.
-
Local Knowledge: We know which districts are safe, where transport links are good and where the best schools are.
-
After-Move Support: We do not disappear once you have moved in. We help with utility transfers, internet connection and finding cleaning staff.
The Arrival Schedule
Clarifying Expectations
Before you even travel, we assess your needs in a video call: Which district do you prefer? What type of school is required? What is the budget?
Property Search
We comb the market and send you the best 3–5 options. Where needed, we arrange a video viewing or organise a personal viewing day upon your arrival.
The Legal Guarantee
We negotiate with the owner on the rent or purchase price. We prepare a bilingual, notarised contract that protects your rights.
Paperwork
Once you have your address registered, we immediately arrange the Address Card, Tax Identification Number and Social Security Number. We accompany you to the bank to open an account, where an English-speaking adviser will be waiting.
Fine-Tuning
Utility transfers, internet/TV connection, parking permit, insurance arrangement. We take care of everything to make sure it all works.
Questions About Settlement
Q1: Can you help with opening a bank account? Yes. We have partner relationships with the largest Hungarian banks, who are well-equipped to serve foreign clients. We assist with booking the appointment and preparing the documents so that account opening can be completed in a single visit.
Q2: How quickly can we find a flat? As a rule, thanks to our pre-screening, a suitable property can be found and contracted within 1 week of arrival. We recommend starting our collaboration 2–3 weeks before you arrive.
Q3: Does my driving licence need to be nostrified? It depends on where you are from. EU licences are accepted directly, but third-country licences typically require nostrification after 1 year. We assist with this at the Document Centre as well.
Q4: Do you help with health insurance? Yes. Insurance is mandatory for a residence permit. We help you choose a package from private insurers, or — if you are in employment — with obtaining the Hungarian state social insurance (TAJ card).
