This is the first administration step after your arrival. You need to go to one of the government offices called Kormányablak (Government Window). Here you apply for the so called NEK-code which is necessary for ordering your student ID. Please watch the exact datas (date- and time of birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.) in the application form!
Till you get the plastic student ID you’ll receive a temporary form which is valid for 60 days. As a student of a Hungarian university you get the following discounts:
- 50% off by travelling
- 50% off on city transport in case of a monthly card
- discounts in museums and other places – watch the discount signs and always ask!
