Immigration waves between 1976 and 1985
In connection with foreigners’ settlement in Hungary- mainly before the political change 1990- very little information was revealed. Until the 1990s the police were in charge of the alien policing authority activity. This is also the reason why settlement related information was top secret. A great deal of the decisions concerning the alien policing authority including the settlement was a political decision. A smaller proportion of these was not laws just some kind of measures at a lower level.
The residents from former socialist countries were only allowed to settle down in Hungary between 1947 and 1990 in exceptional cases and that was marriage.
