Abstract: The objective of this report is to present the historical background and the relevant statistical, sociological and geographic data on migration in Hungary, as well as the legal and policy framework concerning international migratory flows. The report observes the place of Hungary in the framework of migration between two country groups, the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary) and the countries of the Eastern Partnership (Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia). Due to geographic proximity and historical ties, the two most important focal points of this complex phenomenon are the limitrophe migration from Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region to Eastern Hungary, and the very diverse patterns of labour migration from different Eastern European countries to Budapest, the capital city of Hungary.
