Once migrants are eligible to apply under Hungary's unfavourable provisions (see box), only those who meet the income and criminal record conditions, and pass a basic oral test on Hungarian language, history, and literature can naturalise. The questions and study guide are free online. Migrants then have a security in their status halfway to best practice; they can only lose their nationality within ten years if they are found fuilty of having committed fraud to acquire it.

Naturalising migrants are allowed to be dual nationals.
