Indeed, Hungary is a member of the Schengen Area and possesses the same rights as the other 28 member states. This indicates that Hungary’s visa policy is aligned with the Schengen policy. Hungary ratified the Schengen agreement in April 2003 and commenced its implementation in December 2007. The agreement permits citizens from the member nations to travel freely throughout the Schengen Area.

A visa is not required for entry into Hungary if you are:
1. A citizen of the EU/EEA. Citizens from other Schengen countries may enter Hungary without restrictions.
2. A citizen of a nation that has a visa-free agreement. Nationals from the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are permitted to stay in Hungary for a maximum of 90 days.
If you do not belong to either of the aforementioned categories, you will need to apply for a Schengen Visa to gain entry into Hungary.
Before applying for a visa to Hungary, it is essential to select the appropriate type of visa according to the purpose of your travel, as outlined below:
Hungary Tourist Visa. Tourist visas are granted to individuals intending to enter Hungary for a maximum duration of 90 days. This visa type permits visits to other Schengen countries during this timeframe and can be issued for single, double, or multiple entries.
Hungary Transit Visa. A transit visa permits its holder to access the international zone of the airport and remain there until they board another flight to their destination country. This visa does not allow exit from the international transit area of the airport, even if an overnight wait is necessary.
Hungary Long-stay Visas. Long-stay visas are provided for extended stays. For instance, if you plan to remain in Hungary for over three months, you must apply for a long-stay visa. Depending on the purpose of your visit, various types of long-stay visas are available:
Hungary Work Visa. To work in Hungary for more than three months, you must secure a work visa. This visa can be obtained if you are employed by a company owned by a Hungarian citizen or if you own your own business.
Hungary Student Visa. Students intending to study in Hungary for more than three months are required to obtain a Hungary Student visa. This visa allows the holder to remain in Hungary until the completion of their educational program.
Hungary Family Visa. Anyone wishing to reunite with family members (spouse, children, parents, etc.) residing in Hungary must apply for a family visa. This visa is valid for four years and can be renewed for an additional four years.
Hungary Working Holiday Visa. The Working Holiday visa is intended for young individuals aged 18 to 30 who wish to experience and explore the culture and lifestyle of Hungary. This visa is valid for one year and allows young foreign nationals to live and work in Hungary until the visa expires.
Application forms for a Hungarian Schengen visa are accessible in Hungarian, French, or English. However, if your application includes supplementary documents in a language other than the aforementioned three, these must also be translated into either English or Hungarian.
Documents required for a Hungarian visa application should be completed using capital Roman letters.

The application form for a Hungarian Schengen visa is available for download here. Applicants may also obtain a physical copy from any Hungarian Consulate or Embassy.
Arrange a visa appointment, if necessary.
Most applications necessitate an in-person appointment at the nearest Hungarian Consulate or visa center to submit the application. Alternatively, applications can be submitted without a prior appointment during regular operating hours. Contact the Hungarian Consulate or visa center to verify if an appointment is required.
Submit your Hungary Schengen visa application.
Note: Applications must be submitted at least 15 days prior to the travel date but not more than 6 months before the travel date.
Typically, applications must be submitted in person at the Hungarian Consulate or visa processing center. However, there may be some variations in the submission procedures.
In certain instances, applicants may authorize individuals to submit the application on their behalf, provided that the authorization is certified by a notary. Professional, cultural, or sporting associations may also submit applications on behalf of a member. Travel agencies may apply in cases of organized travel. Nevertheless, the application must be personally signed by the applicant, even if someone or an organization is submitting it on their behalf.
Applicants will likely need to provide their fingerprints (biometric data). Children under the age of 12 are exempt from fingerprint data collection. Applicants who have submitted their fingerprints within the last 59 months will probably not be required to resubmit.
Applicants may also be requested to return on a different date for an interview concerning their trip.
Pay the visa application fee.
Visa applications are required to be submitted no less than 15 days prior to the travel date, and they must not be submitted earlier than 6 months before the travel date.
Applications must be submitted either via the Hungarian Consulate or a visa application center affiliated with Hungary.
In nations lacking a Hungarian consulate, applications may be submitted through a Schengen state consulate that represents the interests of a Hungarian consulate.
In regions without a Hungarian consulate or a Schengen consulate representing the interests of a Hungarian consulate, applications may be directed to any Hungarian consulate located outside the Schengen area.
Applicants are required to have a valid justification if they need to apply at a Hungarian consulate or visa processing center in a country where they are neither a citizen nor a resident. For instance, the applicant may be legally residing in another country on a valid permit or visa, and the consulate in that country has accepted the rationale for applying through them and has opted to process the application.
Applicants can find information regarding the locations of Hungarian Consulates and visa application centers here.
Typically, the processing time for Hungary Schengen visa applications is around 15 days. Nevertheless, in certain instances, it may extend up to 45 days.
Applicants are required to verify that the details on the visa are accurate and complete at the time of collection.
Those who have obtained their Schengen Visa for Hungary should take note of the following points:
Notify the Hungarian Consulate or the visa application center of any alterations to your travel plans after the submission has been finalized.
The granting of a Schengen visa does not assure entry upon arrival in Hungary or any other nations within the Schengen zone.
Further documentation related to your financial resources or lodging may still be necessary to secure entry into Hungary or other Schengen regions.
