Hungary visa and entry requirements for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens

If you hold a passport from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, you do not need a visa to enter Hungary. You may stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180‑day window. No ETIAS or similar electronic authorisation is required for these nationals.

1. Check that your passport is valid for at least three months beyond the date you plan to leave Hungary. This is the standard Schengen requirement.

2. Ensure your total stay in the Schengen Area (including Hungary and any other Schengen countries you visit) does not exceed 90 days in any 180‑day period.

3. Book your flight or other transport. No pre‑travel electronic authorisation is needed for the listed citizens.

4. On arrival, present your passport to border officials. They may ask about your travel itinerary, accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds (around €50 per day is typical).

5. Keep a copy of your boarding pass or travel itinerary as evidence of your intended departure date, in case border officers request it.

• If you plan to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for the appropriate national visa or residence permit before travelling.

• The 90‑day limit applies to the whole Schengen zone, not per country. A 60‑day stay in France followed by a 30‑day stay in Hungary counts as 90 days total.

• Some airlines may require proof of onward travel; keep a printed ticket or e‑ticket handy.

• While a visa is not needed, you must still comply with customs regulations on goods, cash (over €10,000 must be declared), and prohibited items.
