There is currently a high volume of D type student / study visa applications. Therefore, in order to alleviate this workload, priority will be given to D type study visa applications. The appointment system is currently open. Applicants may book an appointment through the system.
The Consulate General is closed on the Hungarian State Foundation Day, August 20-21, 2026.
It has recently come to our attention that there are claims regarding visa appointment slots being obtained in exchange for money, either individually or through agencies. Visa application appointments are entirely free of charge. The Consulate General has no involvement, authorization of affiliation with such practices.
Due to recent negative experiences and problems with the application process, some updates have been made to ensure that visa applications can be processed more regularly and smoothly.
In accordance with the Schengen Law, C type Schengen visa application fee will be 90 EUR instead of 80 EUR as of 11 June 2024. From this date, the amount to be paid for visa applications will be 90 EUR. As of the same date, the visa application fee for applicants between the ages of 6 - 12, who are not citizens of the Republic of Turkey, is 45 EUR instead of 40 EUR. For applicants between 6 - 12 years of age, who are not citizens of the Republic of Turkey, the amount to be paid is 45 EUR.
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
The new law on D type visa applications will come into force on January 1, 2024.
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.
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.
We would like to inform our dear Applicants, that as of January 22, 2022, the fees for applying for the following procedures at the Consulate will be changed
