Standard public-space film permits in 3–5 working days. Historical / monument sites take 1–2 weeks. Same-day press permits possible for news work.
Do you handle accommodation and transport?
Recommendations and bookings, yes. I don’t take a kickback on hotels — what you pay is what they charge.

Yes — anywhere in Hungary, and across the border into Slovakia, Austria, Romania for cross-border shoots.
