A bit of my background: I’m Panamanian, with Italian and Cuban roots, and I’ve been living in Hungary for more than 20 years. During this time, I’ve gone through several residence permit processes myself — sometimes independently and sometimes with legal assistance — so I understand firsthand how the system works from both perspectives. In 2019, I also applied on my own and was successfully awarded Hungarian citizenship. _______________________________________________ If you are living in Hungary as an expat, one of the most common questions is who is eligible for a TAJ card and who is not.
