Please make sure to check the consular section of our website where you can find detailed and updated information on specific consular matters, as well as current entry regulations to Hungary. 

Please note that our Consulate only accepts clients with a prior appointment (including for collection of documents). We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we are unable to handle cases that differ from the originally booked case type, in such cases a new appointment must be booked for another time. We can serve only one person at a time, so it is necessary to book appointments for each applicant.

Only registered customers with an appointment can enter the area of the Consulate. Bringing in weapons of any kind to the Consulate premises is strictly prohibited.

In the absence of the above conditions, customers are not allowed to enter.

We appreciate your understanding.
