Travellers need a visa to visit Hungary for Business or Tourism.

Travellers must obtain a paper or embassy visa from an embassy, consulate or visa center before travelling.

Travellers must have proof of accommodation during their stay in Hungary.

Travellers need proof of a ticket showing their entrance and exit from Hungary.

This requirement doesn’t apply to the following travellers:

• Nationals of Hungary
• Residents of Hungary.

The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new digital border process for non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay (up to 90 days within 180 days). No advance action is required.

Travellers should allow additional time at passport control, especially during busy travel seasons. At passport control, travellers provide a facial photo and/or fingerprints. Passports are no longer stamped. Self-service kiosks may be available at some airports and border entries.

Travellers need a valid passport to enter Hungary. The traveller's passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the traveller's arrival date and remain valid for at least 3 months after the traveller's departure from Hungary.

Travellers must have travel health insurance when visiting Hungary.
Insurance should cover at least EUR 43,394 (USD 50,000) be valid in all Schengen countries, and cover the entire duration of stay.

Travellers should check with their airline for pet transport requirements before travelling, as policies differ.

Dogs and cats travelling into the EU from outside the EU must meet entry requirements that vary by country of origin. Pets must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. Additional requirements may apply depending on where travel originates.

Travellers can check the specific requirements for their country of origin on the EU government's pet travel page.

Travellers bringing other animals should check the national rules of their destination country directly.

• Health screening: While not always required, officials might ask for a health certificate or a medical exam upon arrival. This is more likely if you're coming from an area with a health outbreak or if you show signs of illness.
