New Zealand’s relationship with Hungary is friendly and based largely on people-to-people links. We have a small community of around 1,400 Hungarians – many of whom arrived in New Zealand after the 1956 revolution.
While bilateral links with Hungary are modest compared with some other EU countries, New Zealand and Hungary cooperate in the international arena where we share interests, particularly as supporters of the United Nations peacekeeping efforts. A working holiday scheme enables young New Zealanders and Hungarians to live and work in each others countries.

Our trade and economic relationship with Hungary is modest - Hungary is our 74th largest trading partner (counting EU Member States individually), with two-way trade heavily weighted in Hungary’s favour, with New Zealand importing mostly forestry products and textiles.
New Zealanders aged between 18 and 35 can apply for a 12-month working holiday visa for Hungary.
