Hungary is the first Central European country and the fifth in Europe and tenth globally to sign a similar agreement with us. Once the program is implemented, our two countries will each offer 100 annual quotas, issuing one-year Working Holiday visas to eligible applicants. The visa is open to youths aged 18 to 35.
Hungary is a landlocked Central European country with a population of about 10 million and an area of over 93,000 square kilometers. Its official language is Hungarian. Since its democratic reform in 1989, Hungary has established a democratic multi-party political system and joined the European Union in 2004. It is also a member of international organizations and agreements such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Schengen Agreement, and the Visegrád Group.
Geographically, Hungary borders seven countries: Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the east, Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia to the south, and Austria to the west. Aside from its convenient access to other European nations, Hungary is rich in traditional European culture, with distinctive architecture, music, literature, and cuisine. The country attracts over ten million tourists annually, especially to its internationally renowned capital, Budapest—a twin-city along the picturesque Danube River—making it a highly popular world-class tourist destination.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds young people interested in the Hungary Working Holiday Program that once the Taiwan-Hungary program is officially launched and the visa is approved, they must make thorough pre-trip preparations. Additionally, they should abide by local laws, pay attention to personal safety during their stay, and promptly contact the Taiwanese Representative Office in Hungary in case of emergencies.
