ATTENTION!
A visa is only a preliminary permission for entry, which does not automatically authorize its bearer to enter the country. The traveller may be requested to provide proof of the conditions of his entry and stay in Hungary and in case of non-compliance, travellers may be returned from the border.
Applicants are required to provide biometric identifiers, such as their photograph and, above 12 years of age, ten fingerprints. Applicants who already provided fingerprints of acceptable quality within the past 59 months are exempt from this obligation.
For general information, before applying please consult: https://konzinfo.mfa.gov.hu/en/short-term-stay
