Hello Anastasia!
Next, I am sending you the answer of our Hungarian colleague to your question:
"I can answer this question well, because when I worked at the Hungarian Embassy in Bern, I learned the conditions for obtaining Hungarian citizenship:
1. The grandmother and her daughter must be of Hungarian descent. Or the grandfather must at least belong to the Hungarian minority.
Did the grandmother and her daughter belong to the Hungarian minority?
2. An important condition: the daughter must have at least a "moderate" intermediate level of knowledge of the Hungarian language.
3. Anyone wishing to apply for Hungarian citizenship must pass a fairly simple but important language test at the embassy.
4. The daughter must confirm her origin, kinship with a document that, in one way or another, will confirm her belonging to the Hungarian minority in the Transcarpathian mountains.
Please, Elena, first of all, ask this question to a woman - Anastasia Fort - so that we know if she has the right to apply for Hungarian citizenship at the Consulate General in the Transcarpathian region. "
Yours faithfully,
Garanina Elena Alexandrovna

Dear Anastasia, good afternoon!
We are glad that we have contacted us with this question. Regarding the possibility of obtaining Hungarian citizenship under the simplified procedure, we inform you about the following.
Obtaining Hungarian citizenship under the simplified program is possible if you have documents confirming Hungarian origin and if you know the Hungarian language.
The fact of the place of birth or Hungarian nationality does not constitute grounds for obtaining Hungarian citizenship.
The applicant must documentary proof of direct descent from a Hungarian citizen (Birth and marriage certificates of the affected relatives and the applicant). One of the main legal conditions for obtaining Hungarian citizenship according to the simplified procedure is the knowledge of the Hungarian language (at a conversational level). The applicant must be able to independently, without outside help, state his application for naturalization and independently, in short sentences, answer the questions of the employee of the Consulate.
