Much more is being said about Hungary’s emigrants these days (Blaskó et al. 2016; Siskáné et al, 2017; Egedy, 2017), than there is about the foreigners arriving legally to Hungary, or about Hungarians emigrating from the other countries of the Carpathian Basin. This paper analyses the intersection of the two latter phenomena, focusing on settlers from the Carpathian Basin arriving to Hungary. The study zooming into the present situation of international migration in Hungary, it introduces the foreign population living in Hungary in numbers, as well as the socio-demographic and economic characteristics from the perspective of the source and target territories, revealing the source areas of migration and the impact on the Hungarian population in the Carpathian Basin. The analysis interprets those involved in international migration in broad terms; as such, it is not solely focused on the movements of foreign citizens, but rather examines the effects of migration together with the naturalized Hungarians born abroad.
