From people who landed here
a year before you.

  • Adaeze N.Semmelweis · Nigeria

    I signed for a room in District IX while I was still in Lagos. It looked exactly like the photos, and it is twelve minutes from my faculty.

  • Lukas B.Erasmus · Germany

    The eSIM worked the moment the plane landed, and the bank appointment was in English with no queue. My first week felt organised instead of chaotic.

  • Sofia A.Stipendium Hungaricum · Brazil

    Insurance scared me more than exams. The offer came the next day, and the Immigration Office accepted the policy without a single question.

Questions,
answered.

Anything else, write to us in English and a real person answers.

Is UniMap free to use?

The UniMap Card is free, with no monthly or activation fees, and browsing housing costs nothing: you rent directly with the partner. Services like insurance, moving or the consultation are paid to the provider, and you always see the price before you commit.

Will the insurance work for my residence permit?

Yes. Both plans, Health Insurance and Health Insurance+, are accepted at the Immigration Office and by universities. Your cover starts once the premium is paid.

Do I need to be in Budapest already?

No. Most students start from home: finding a room, sorting insurance, ordering the eSIM and getting the card before they land. The bank appointment is the one thing you do in person.

How do I use the card at a partner?

Open your card on your phone and show the QR code. The partner scans it and the discount is taken off straight away. Nothing to print, nothing to remember.

Who lists the rooms, and who do I pay?

Every room comes from a housing partner we have checked, and each listing shows which one. You rent and pay directly with that partner. UniMap never takes deposits or rent.

Can someone walk me through all of it?

Book the 45-minute online consultation for €35. We go through permits, the TAJ card, tax ID, housing, banking and transport, and you get a personal plan afterwards.

See you in
Budapest.

Start from home: find a room, sort your insurance and get your card before you land.
