Dear Students, Although many of you have already received your definitive student IDs, some of you are still using the temporary ones. This is just a reminder that you should always keep your student ID with you, otherwise your student pass is not valid, and ticket inspectors love to fine students without valid student IDs. If you still have the temporary paper, please have it with you (a photo of it in your phone is not sufficent). Thank you!

Info about residence permits, address cards and change of address

by international.office＠itk.ppke.hu

Dear Students, Many of you have questions or doubts about immigration-related issues. So here you have the most improtant information summarized. RESIDENCE PERMITS Residence permits are delivered to the university by post. Your coordinator will inform you as soon as your permit has arrived. (There is no need to ask about it, we will let you know immediately.) You don’t need to go to the immigration office either, just wait patiently because unfortunately permits are often issued with significant delay. ADDRESS CARDS Your address card is a pdf document with your name, address and a QR code in it. If you haven’t received your address card in email or at the embassy, you can go to the immigration office to get it. (Probably this is the fastest way of getting it.) If you only go there to get your address card, you have to join the queue to get a number but very probably you will get the address card at the reception (instead of getting a number and having to wait). Please note that most often you will need your residence permit and address card for opening a bank account or for getting a mobile phone contract. CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICES You may go to one of two customer service offices. Opening hours in both: Monday to Thursday: 8:00 am to 2:00 pm Friday: 8:00 am to 12 noon Try to be there around 8 am because there is always a long queue. Option 1: 1117 Budapest, Budafoki út 60. (Here there tend to be relatively fewer people than in the other customer service office.) What you can do there: - procedure to extend or replace your residence permit - do the biometrics for the residence permit - get your address card (if you haven’t received it in email) What to bring (minimum): - residence permit - passport - student status certificate How to get there: - bus 133 (Astoria – Ferenciek tere – Szent Gellért tér - … - Hengermalom út ) - bus 33 (from Móricz Zsigmond körtér to Hengermalom út ) Option 2: 1135 Budapest, Szegedi út 35-37. What you can do there: - procedure to extend or replace your residence permit - do the biometrics for the residence permit (when you are told to do it in email) - get your address card (if you haven’t received it in email) - receive your residence permit if it wasn’t posted to the university What to bring (minimum): - residence permit - passport - student status certificate How to get there: - bus 105 or tram 14 to Béke tér, then walk 5 minutes - bus 20E, 30, 30A, 32, 230 to Szegedi út CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS If your address has changed because you have moved to a different place or because you started the visa process using the dormitory address but you are not staying in the dorm, you must report the change of address to the Immigration Authority (OIF). You must do so via Enter Hungary: [ https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/ | https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/ ] . - If you have used the Enter Hungary platform before, you can simply log in and start the procedure. - If you haven't used the platform before, then first you will have to register at [ https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/register | https://enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/register ] and then you will be able to change your address. Log in to the platform and select the following procedure: Notification / Notification of change of address. Then fill in the form. Required documents: * rental agreement, dormitory certificate (not compulsory) * [ https://ppke.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/NKOall/EdgwI_1UietFg6LYGhW61tgB2VG2ehM3Kw… | accommodation reporting form ] filled in (you can download it from the Info Site but I have also attached it to this mail) and signed by your dormitory or landlord (compulsory) * valid passport You just submit the electronic notification form and you will receive your new address card in email within a few weeks. I hope this will help you clarify your doubts.

Meeting point: 8:00 am at "Déli" railway station (Déli pályaudvar) - end of metro line M2 (red) We meet where near the ticket offices. The train leaves at 8:25 am. Whoever is not there in time, will have to come on their own. Destination: Tata Station where we get off the train: Tóvároskert (Tata) Our programme is the following: 1. Eszterházy Champagne Factory (guided tour and champagne tasting) 2. Dragon boat on the lake Be prepared for physical exercise and for possibly getting a bit wet. There are changing rooms there. 3. Lunch Since lunch will be at 2 pm, and before that you'll try some champagne and do physical exercise, please bring some snacks with you to "survive" the morning. Tickets You all have a temporary student ID now. Please have them with you tomorrow. * If you have the country pass for students (HUF 1890), you don't have to pay for the ticket. * If you don't have a country pass , you will have to buy a ticket, which costs HUF 745 in one direction. * If you don't have a country pass and are over 25, your ticket will cost HUF 1490 in one direction.

Important: Please activate your university electronic services before Orientation Week

by Pázmány ITK International Office

Dear Students, Before Orientation Week begins on Monday, please make sure to open the system message in Neptun titled “University electronic services access” and carefully follow the steps described there. (You may have received this system message a few days ago or even a few weeks ago, but the title is certainly the same.) If you have already completed these steps, thank you. If not, we kindly ask you to go through them by Monday. Completing this process - including your first logins to the various university platforms - is essential to ensure that during the week (and of course later, during your studies) you can use all platforms and complete the required tasks smoothly. The message also contains the Wi-Fi password that you will need to access the network in the Faculty building. Thank you for taking care of this in advance, and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

Arrival Information

by Pázmány ITK International Office

Dear Students, Your arrival in Budapest is just around the corner - we look forward to welcoming you soon! To help with your preparations, please read the following practical information carefully. Arrival & Transport * From the airport, the easiest way to reach the city centre is the 100E airport shuttle bus (ticket: 2,200 HUF), leaving directly from the airport entrance. Tickets can be purchased at the vending machines at the airport (card payment is accepted). Please note that no other tickets or passes (including monthly passes) are valid for this bus. * For your first days, we recommend buying an ordinary 15-day Budapest travel pass (5,950 HUF), or using blocks of 10 tickets (4,500 HUF), since your student passes will only be available after enrollment (you can purchase them after 3 September at the earliest). * It is worth downloading the BudapestGO app to your phone for route planning and ticket purchases (available in English). Further travel info: https://bkk.hu/en Orientation Week (Sept 1 to 5) * We are expecting you on Monday, September 1, at 8.45 am at our Faculty building, Práter utca 50/a (don't go to the central university address in Szentkirályi utca!). * The first session will be held in Jedlik Lecture Room (signs will guide you), starting at 9.00 am. * Attendance in the Orientation Week is mandatory, except for those who informed us in advance about a late arrival, due to justifiable reasons. Enrollment * Please bring your passport (or ID for EU citizens). * Please bring 1,000 HUF (cash only) for your entry key fob. * If possible, please bring a fridge magnet from your city/country for our International Relations Office. * Full-program students must also bring: * Original diploma (and English translation if not issued in English) * Original language certificate (unless your BSc was fully in English) * Erasmus students do not need to bring their diploma or language certificates. Banking & Payments * MasterCard and Visa cards are widely accepted in Hungary. However, since the local currency is Hungarian Forint (HUF), conversion fees can add up if your account is in another currency. * Revolut and Wise cards are also popular and work smoothly in Hungary, usually with better exchange rates than traditional banks. They are good options if you want to minimize conversion costs. * In case you prefer opening a traditional Hungarian account: OTP, Erste, and K&H are the biggest banks with English-speaking services. The process takes more time and paperwork compared to Revolut/Wise. * Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders : you will need a Hungarian account for your scholarship payments. Both Revolut and Wise accounts are accepted for this purpose, as well as classic Hungarian bank accounts. * For IPCV students , it is worth carefully considering the currency of your account. While everyday expenses in Hungary are in HUF, in Spain and France you will need EUR. (Those receiving the EMJM scholarship will also get their stipend in EUR.) In your case, Revolut or Wise might be the most practical choice, as these accounts make it very easy and cost-efficient to switch between currencies. Dormitory * For those who have been accepted to one of the university dormitories: the dorms will be able to welcome you after 26 August. * Questions about room allocation or facilities should be addressed directly to the dormitory: kollegium(a)ppke.hu. Important Events * Commencement of classes: Monday, September 8 * International Opening Ceremony: Monday, September 8, at 4 pm (business casual attire required). * International Day : in October (TBD). If possible, please bring * a small food/snack from your country, * a typical item of national clothing. * (Neither are indispensable, but these would definitely contribute to the international atmosphere of the day.) Extras for Erasmus Students * EU citizens with a valid student ID from their home university can use it to buy a Hungarian student pass (provided that the student ID is valid for the 2025/26 academic year). Please bring it with you. * Bring your European Health Insurance Card (“blue card”), if you have one. In this case, you don't need any extra health insurance. We wish you smooth travels and are excited to see you soon in Budapest! Best regards, Andrea Mihálffy Head of International Relations Office Pázmány Péter Catholic University Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics C 1083 Budapest, Práter u. 50/a.
