The range of duties of border hunters is narrower than that of the police, so their training also requires a shorter period.

The basic requirements include the completion of primary education and good physical endurance.

Applicants who meet the requirements will receive a gross salary of HUF 300,000 during the training.

The successful candidates can earn nearly HUF 400,000; the top 10%, who will be able to perform more extreme tasks, can expect even higher salaries, Rétvári said.

Service apartments can also be provided for border hunters.
