When you arrive in Budapest

When you arrive:

It can be quite overwhelmingly to relocate to a new country where you don’t speak the language, especially if it’s your first overseas assignment. First of all, it’s prudent to register with your home country embassy so that they’re aware that you’re here and know how to reach you in case of an emergency. Many people are unaware of the resources that embassies offer their citizens.

In a new city, it can often be a challenge to find like-minded individuals who speak your language. The sooner you meet other expats, the sooner you’ll have a support group to lean on. There’s a number of clubs in Budapest that make getting connected a relatively easy task .
