Continuation of NEAK membership after moving abroad depends on individual status and applicable rules; confirm your case directly with NEAK. In Colombia, required health documents depend on the visa category and current official checklist. Resolution 5477 lists risks in its definition of travel insurance with health coverage; the list below is not a universal requirement for every visa.
CoVisas Colombia helps Hungarian nationals select, purchase, and document international health insurance plans for Colombian visa purposes. We work with multiple insurers to find the best value plan for your situation.

Hungary's National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV / Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal) taxes Hungarian tax residents on their worldwide income at a flat 15% personal income tax rate. Tax residency in Hungary is primarily determined by registered address (lakóhely or tartózkodási hely): a Hungarian who deregisters their Hungarian address and moves their centre of life to Colombia can exit Hungarian tax residency. However, the deregistration must be formally processed through the local government registry (járási hivatal), and NAV must be notified of the change in tax residency.
Upon becoming a Colombian tax resident (183+ days per year in Colombia or primary domicile), Hungarian expats become liable for Colombian income tax on worldwide income at rates from 0% to 39%. Any income from Hungarian sources — dividends, rental income, pension, or freelance fees from Hungarian clients — may be taxable in both countries without a credit mechanism, since no CDI exists between Hungary and Colombia. Pre-departure tax planning with a Hungarian adótanácsadó (tax advisor) and a Colombian Contador Público is strongly recommended.
Hungary and Colombia have not signed a bilateral tax treaty (CDI). Income from Hungarian sources received by a Colombian tax resident, and Colombian-source income received by a Hungarian tax resident, can each be taxed in both countries without automatic relief. Formal deregistration from Hungary is required to exit Hungarian tax residency. Seek professional advice in both jurisdictions.
Hungarian documents must be apostilled and officially translated into Spanish before submission to Migración Colombia.
CoVisas Colombia guides Hungarian expats through visa selection, health insurance compliance, and document preparation — from Budapest to Bogotá.
