Tibor József Imre Farkas de Boldogfa was born in Felsőbagod in the county of Zala, Kingdom of Hungary, as the member of the ancient Roman Catholic Hungarian noble family Farkas de Boldogfa (in Hungarian: boldogfai Farkas család). His father was József Farkas de Boldogfa (1857–1951) landowner, politician, Member of the Hungarian Parliament, and his mother was Rozália Sümeghy de Lovász et Szentmargitha (1857-1924).

He studied his general studies of school and high-school with particular teachers and in the Theresianum in Wien. Later he studied law in Wien and in Budapest, where he obtained his PhD degree and approved his lawyer exam in 1910. Then he traveled to England and studied law in the Cambridge University for 3 years. He taught law in the London School of Economics, and traveled actively around England studying the legal part of the industrial sector of that time as well the strikes policies.[2] He moved back to Hungary in 1913, however in February 1914 the Hungarian Minister of Justice sent him back to England for researching further the strike law. The break of the First World War interrupted his researches, and went back to Hungary for serving as a Hussar Captain. he fought in the Italian and in the Russian front and after the War he was invested with the Signum Laudis medal and the Karl Troop Cross.

After the World War I, King Charles IV of Hungary was not allowed to continue on the Hungarian throne and the admiral Miklós Horthy de Nagybánya was elected as regent of the Kingdom. Tibor's father, who was over 63 years old for that time, retreated from the politics. Instead of that, Tibor Farkas became one of the most energetic defenders of the Monarchy and the House of Habsburg. Tibor had a close friendship with the Marquis György Pallavicini, the Count Antal Sigray and Count János Zichy, who were the most relevant legitimist politicians between the two World Wars in Hungary.[3] He was elected two times as a representative in the Hungarian Parliament: 1922–1926, and 1931–1935. He criticized the Horthy's government and was against all Nazi politics; his only goal was to reestablish continuity and see the Habsburgs in the Hungarian throne.[4]

He married on 29 of December 1929 Judith Pálffy de Pálfiszegh (1909-1993), daughter of the Hungarian nobleman László Pálffy de Pálfiszegh (1872-1946), jurist, landowner, and chief magistrate of the district of Pacsa, in Zala county. Pálffy Judith gave birth to two children: Elek and Erzsébet.
