When should you apply to Hungary?

Apply for a Hungary Schengen visa when Hungary is where you will spend the most nights, or your first Schengen entry point. With it you can still travel to the other 28 Schengen countries during your trip.

Documents for a Hungary Schengen visa

The core file is the standard Schengen set: passport, photos, application form, Emirates ID and residence visa, travel medical insurance (€30,000), confirmed flights and accommodation, bank statements, employment proof, cover letter and a day-by-day itinerary. See our full documents checklist and requirements guide.

Appointment & processing

Hungary applications in the UAE are submitted through the official visa centre; you book an appointment online, submit documents and give biometrics if required. Standard decisions take about 15 days, longer in peak season. See our appointment guide and processing time guide.

Tip: Budapest is a favourite city break; keep your itinerary and accommodation fully consistent.
