Hungarian Consul in Boston — 50 Miles Closer Than New York

Greater Boston's Hungarian-Americans no longer need a Manhattan day trip. Derry, NH is under an hour.

The Hungarian Community of Greater Boston

Greater Boston is home to the largest concentration of Hungarian-Americans in New England — roughly 12,000 in the metro area alone. For decades, the nearest official Hungarian consular presence was the Consulate General in Midtown Manhattan: 225 miles, four-plus hours, a full day lost. The Honorary Consulate of Hungary in Derry, NH is 50 miles from Downtown Boston — under an hour on I-93 North.

Newton, Brookline, and Cambridge have historically dense Hungarian-American communities — families who came after 1956, academics at Harvard and MIT, and newer dual nationals navigating US–Hungarian life. Many did not know a local consulate existed.

What We Handle vs. New York →Book Your Monday Appointment

Honorary consuls do not work in a formal office, nor do they have fixed working hours or schedules. They do not receive compensation from Hungary for their duties and therefore cannot be held accountable for their work schedules.
