Short Stay Visa
Competent Member State - Where to submit a visa application?
Visa applications have to be submitted at the representation of the country which is the main/sole destination of the visit (the main destination is either defined by the purpose of entry or – if the applicant plans to visit more Schengen countries with the same purpose - by the length of stay).
If visiting several states with stays of the same duration, the application should be lodged at the consulate of the the Member State whose external border the applicant intends to cross in order to enter the territory of the Member States. Thus, in line with the Schengen regulations applicants can submit the visa applications at the Hungarian representation if Hungary is the main destination.
The general rule is that an application can be lodged at the consulate which is in the country
- where the applicant resides / has a habitual residence (the applicant holds a permit that makes a stay longer than 3 months possible – e.g. residence permit),
- the applicant does not have a habitual residence or right for a long stay, but at the moment stays legally there and gave reasons for applying at that consulate. This is not a personal right, it depends on the consulate’s consideration and is viable for a sound reason. The stay is legal if, according to the third country’s law, the applicant is entitled to stay within the consular disctrict for a short stay (e.g. with a visa) or for a longer stay (e.g. with a residence permit).
The visa application should satisfy the following general conditions (admissibility)
- the application has been lodged no more than six months and not less than 15 days before the start of the intended visit;
- the visa applicant presents a legibly filled out, signed application form. The application form may be acquired free of charge at the consulates or downloaded from the website of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
- the applicant shall present a valid travel document satisfying the following criteria:
- contains at least two blank pages;
- issued within the previous 10 years;
- the validity shall extend at least three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the member States or, in the case of several visits, after the last intended date of departure from the territory of the Member States;
- one passport-size colour photo (not older than 6 months and not edited /photoshopped) is attached
- biometric data have been collected (if applicable)
- visa fee is paid
Persons whose fingerprints have been collected within the previous 59 months should not have the fingerprints collected again. Applicants must indicate on the application form (field 28) when they last had their fingerprints taken.
When applying for a short stay uniform visa (Schengen C-type), the purpose of the entry can be certified with the following documents:
- Tourist visit: the certificate of the travel agency; or in the case of an individual visit: the prepaid reservation of accommodation.
- Educational or other scientific or professional training purpose: the certificate of the receiving institution, the certificate of the place of accommodation in Hungary
- Visiting friends, acquaintances: a letter of invitation may be in the form of a public notarial document and a photocopy of the personal identification document/passport of the inviting party in Hungary.
- Family relations: an invitation letter as described in the previous indent or a letter signed by the applicant in full awareness of his/her criminal liability describing the degree of the family relation, giving the name, address and phone number of the family member and the purpose of the entry and stay.
- Business: in case there already exists a business partner in Hungary: a letter of invitation from the business partner, proof of the existence of commercial business relations; or the certificate of the local chamber of commerce on the existence of business relations, and the certification of the place of accommodation in Hungary.
- Medical treatment: the certificate of the receiving health institution, including reference to the fact that the expected coverage of the medical treatment is available, as well as the certification of the expected place of accommodation in Hungary.
- Cultural activities: agency contract with the Hungarian service provider, invitation letter issued by the host organization
- Sport: proof of accreditation / participation in the sports event or contract with the Hungarian sport club, or the certificate issued by the delegating sport club / Olympic committee / Ministry of Sport, etc.
- Conference: invitation letter issued by the host organization, confirmation on participation issued by the host organization, and/or a certification issued by the delegating organization; receipt of the payment of the registration fee
- Other purposes, not listed: documents about the purpose of the entry and stay.
