If your main destination is Hungary

Due to the recent inappropriate approach of visa applicants to an official authority, the Consulate General's visa section telephone line has had to be suspended for a period of time as of 27 May 2024. No outside calls will be accepted regarding visa matters

If the foreign employee's application for a residence permit is submitted by the priority employer through the Enter Hungary program, from now on the client's written consent is sufficient without consular signature authentication.

The visa decision of applicants for educational purposes, who will stay in Hungary for more than 90 days, is made by the competent authority in Hungary. The Consulate is not authorized to request to speed up this process. After the relevant documents are submitted, the waiting period is 15 days according to the law, and this period may be extended depending on the workload or due to missing documents.

Please kindly note that as of 1st April, 2022 appointments for residence permit (D visa) applications can only be booked in the online appointment system by purpose of stay (work, study, Enter Hungary program, D-visa application with signature authorization, etc.). In case you choose the wrong type of purpose of stay in the appointment system, we cannot receive your application when you come to the Consulate and you have to book a new appointment.
