Hungarian passport holders enter Italy freely as EU and Schengen citizens. No visa, no fee, no time limit on stays. A valid Hungarian national ID card or passport is sufficient. Both countries are in the Schengen Area, so flights between them operate with no border control.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Anagrafe (civil registry office) for residency. EU citizens must also apply for a Certificato di Iscrizione Anagrafica at the local Comune, which is free or costs a small administrative fee (EUR 16 bollo stamp). Bring proof of employment or self-employment, or proof of sufficient resources (roughly EUR 6,000 per year for a single person) plus health insurance. An Italian fiscal code (codice fiscale) from the Agenzia delle Entrate is needed for any contract, SIM card, or bank account.
