Budapest Government Changes Rules for Hungarian Citizenship. UDMR-Linked Foundation No Longer Part of Programme
Published
The government led by Péter Magyar is changing the way ethnic Hungarians in Romania can obtain Hungarian citizenship. The change affects one of the organisations that, until now, helped people submit the documents required for this procedure.
According to information published by Spotmedia.ro, the Eurotrans Foundation, linked to UDMR, will be removed from the programme starting in 2027. Until then, the foundation can still support applicants. After this date, applications will have to be submitted in another way, and interested persons will need new information about the procedure.
Hungarian citizenship is important for many Hungarians in Romania, because it allows them to travel more easily within the European Union and to work in other member states. For this reason, the change has a direct impact on Hungarian communities in Transylvania and in other regions of the country.
So far, not all the details of the new rules have been made public. People who want to obtain Hungarian citizenship are advised to follow official information from the authorities in Budapest and to get informed in good time before the 2027 deadline.
