Hungarian Citizenship for an Entrepreneur from Novosibirsk

Sergey, an entrepreneur from Novosibirsk, knew about his Hungarian roots but had no documents to prove it. Relocitizen lawyers found his great-grandmother’s birth record in archival books. This became the basis for obtaining Hungarian citizenship. With a Hungarian passport, Sergey was able to start a business in the EU.

"I often heard about my Hungarian origin from my relatives. But if I hadn't been helped with finding the documents, I would hardly have been able to obtain a Hungarian passport on my own. Now I realize how important it is to rely on competent migration lawyers."

Sergey Ivancev, a successful Russian entrepreneur in the logistics sector, contacted us with a request for European citizenship. From his older relatives, he had heard that his maternal grandmother might have Hungarian roots, but no documents confirming this were preserved in the family archive.

Our lawyers analyzed the initial data and, after several months of meticulous work and information verification through archival books, found the birth record of Sergey’s great-grandmother in the city of Rijeka, with full details of her parents and birth date. Marriage and emigration documents were also found. These records served as direct proof of the client’s Hungarian origin.

As a result of Rel’s team’s work, the Hungarian Ministry of Internal Affairs made a positive decision. Sergey Ivancev and his two minor children received Hungarian citizenship and the full set of European Union citizen rights. This allowed Sergey to open a representative office of his logistics company in Germany, establish direct contracts with European partners, and optimize business processes.
