I am moving abroad from Hungary for the long term.
4 tasks in suggested order
1. If you move abroad permanently, report your settlement abroad so the register can record you as a Hungarian citizen living abroad and you can receive a new address card marked 'Residence: foreign address'.

Government Window/district office, consulate, or supported electronic channel. (official Hungarian name: Kormányablak, járási hivatal)
Personal identification documents, address card, and details of the foreign address, if available.

2. If you become insured abroad, report the start of the foreign insurance to the competent government office within 15 days; this is used to update the status of your Hungarian Social Security ID (TAJ) for use in Hungary.

3. For the year you move abroad, check your tax residence and how foreign income is treated for Hungarian tax purposes. This may be determined jointly by Hungarian rules, the rules of the other country and the applicable double-taxation treaty.

Data regarding Hungarian and foreign income, days of residence, and family and economic ties.
