Eines der wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Europäischen Union ist der freie Personenverkehr. Es wurde schon im Jahr 1986 ausgesprochen, weil es als Teil der Römischen Verträgen von 1957 und der Einheitlichen Europäischen Akte auf Gründung der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft im Integrationsprozess formuliert wurde. Die internationale Migration spielte in der Geschichte von Ungarn in den letzten 20 Jahren eine herausragende Rolle.
