Safety and Security

Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights) 

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad, including in Europe. For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime: Although Hungary is generally a safe place to visit, you should use caution and stay alert. Be especially careful in crowded tourist areas, train stations, buses, trams, and metros.

Passports, cash, and credit cards are favorite targets of thieves. The Embassy regularly receives reports of pickpocketing on the trains between Budapest and Vienna, so please be especially mindful of your belongings when traveling this route. There have been some instances in Budapest where U.S. citizens were overcharged exorbitant prices for food, beverages, or taxi services. Always verify the cost before making a purchase.

There have been incidents, although rare, where U.S. citizens were unknowingly drugged. Do not accept food or drink from anyone but a server. Additionally, the Embassy has received reports of racially motivated assaults. Please report all crimes to the local police. In an emergency dial 112 for help and contact the U.S. Embassy for follow-up assistance.

General tips to avoid becoming a victim of crime:

• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Do not walk alone at night.
• Be vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs.
• Stay alert in crowded locations frequented by tourists.
• Always keep your belongings secure.
• Do not accept food or drink from anyone but a server.

Victims of Crime: Hungarian authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes committed in Hungary. Report crimes to the local police by calling 112 .

U.S. citizen victims of violent crime and sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. See our webpage about help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

Demonstrations: Political gatherings and protests occur frequently in Hungary, mostly in Budapest. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events. Ethnic nationalist groups have gained popularity in Hungary in the past years, in some cases advocating intolerance towards migrants and minorities, including Jews, Roma, and LGBTI+ individuals. Although these far-right groups do not engage in violence and are not explicitly anti-United States, you should avoid public demonstrations and confrontations with their members.

• Demonstrations can be unpredictable, avoid areas around protests and political rallies. 
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.
• In a few instances where demonstrations have turned violent, authorities have used riot police to control crowds.

Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.

International Financial Scams: See the  Department of State  and   FBI webpages for information.

Tourism: The tourism industry is generally well-regulated and rules enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is generally available throughout the country. Outside of major metropolitan centers, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance . 

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.  Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.

• Always carry your passport with you in Hungary. Local police may require you to show documentation to establish your identity upon request. Hungarian police may take you into custody if you attempt to prove your identity with documents other than a passport.
• Hungary has a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Penalties are severe, including significant jail time.

Some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

Travelers with Disabilities: The law in Hungary prohibits discrimination against persons with physical or mental disabilities, and the law is enforced. Social acceptance of persons with disabilities in public is as prevalent as in the United States. The most common types of accessibility issues may include accessible facilities and ease of movement.

Patients bear all costs for transfer to or between hospitals.

We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Prescription Medication: Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription.

Highways and urban roads are generally in good condition. As in most European countries, you must pay a toll to use Hungary’s highways. Payments must be made either at a gas station or online .

• Areas under construction are not always adequately marked.
• Be on the alert when driving in rural areas. Rural roads are often narrow and poorly lit.
• Pedestrians, tractors, and farm animals often share the use of rural roads.
• Train crossings are not always well-designated.

Additional information on road conditions is available from “ Útinform ” at +36-1-336-2400.

Traffic Laws: Hungary has zero tolerance for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs. Prison sentences for DUI violations or accidents caused by impaired drivers are severe.

• Police often conduct routine roadside checks and administer breath-analysis tests.

• Use of hand-held cell phones while driving is not permitted.
• Car seats are required for infants.
• Children under the age of 12 may not sit in the front seat.

• International driver’s permits (IDP) issued by the American Automobile Association (AAA) are acceptable when used with a valid state driver’s license.

Hungarian police issue traffic violations in the form of a postal check that reflects the amount of the fine. You may pay the fines at any Hungarian post office. Police will confiscate the passport of a person who chooses to contest the fine and issue the person an “invitation letter” to appear at the police station to resolve the dispute. Police will return the passport after resolution and/or payment of the fine.

Public Transportation: Public transportation in Budapest is excellent. Budapest’s tram, subway, and bus service are reliable. Find more information online: Budapest Public Transport . Public transportation outside of Budapest is not as dependable.

• To avoid being a subject to on-the-spot fines in public transportation, you must follow rules for purchasing and properly validating your ticket.
• Taxis in Budapest are plentiful and generally inexpensive. All taxis are yellow, marked accordingly, and should have meters. The Embassy urges all travelers to insist on using a metered taxi, and to avoid entering into agreements with taxi drivers to an unmetered fare.
• Hungary’s train service is generally reliable. The Embassy regularly receives reports of pickpocketing on the trains between Budapest and Vienna. Be mindful of your belongings when traveling this route.

Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Hungary’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Hungary’s air carrier operations.

Different types of visas for Hungary

As a member of the EU/EFTA and the Schengen area, as well as holder of visa waiver agreements with thirty countries worldwide (consult our section on Travelling to Hungary), it is possible to enter Hungary without a visa for a short-term stay. Immediately afterwards, however, you must apply for a residence permit if you wish to continue your stay in the country.

For EU/FTA, Schengen and visa waiver agreement nationals

If you're a national of the thirty countries Hungary has signed a visa waiver agreement with ( see the full list here ), or a citizen of the EU/EFTA or one of the Schengen countries (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland), you can enter Hungary with just a valid passport and/or identity card. You should be aware that the amount of time you can stay in Hungary differs depending on your nationality and the type of identification you have, but in any case, it should not exceed a period of 90 days. After that, you are entitled to stay in the country for 180 more days if you can prove that you're pursuing employment and that you have enough funds to support yourself. By the 93rd day of your arrival to Hungary, you need to notify your residence to the regional directorate. Your family members can enter the country with a short-term visa (type C) even if they intend to stay longer than 90 days. But within 93 days from their arrival to Hungary, they need to apply for a residence card at the Office for Immigration and Nationality's regional directorate.

Good to know: The registration certificate for EU/EFTA nationals costs HUF 1,000 (about 3 euros) and you can pay it with your card or with a bank deposit, using the cheque that will be issued by the regional directorate.

Useful link:

Registration Certificate for EU/EFTA Nationals

For all other nationals

If you wish to stay in Hungary for longer than what the short-term visa would allow, you should apply for a residence permit right away. The process costs 60 euros and usually takes 30 days.

Good to know: Since 2011, when applying for a residence permit in Hungary you are required to give your fingerprints. This rule also applies to children from 6 years old and up.

The documents you'll need to apply for a residence permit may vary depending on whether you're coming to Hungary to work, start your own business, study or do research and also depending on your nationality. It is important that you check with the Hungarian embassy or consulate in your home country what applies in your particular case. As a general rule, you will be expected to procure the following:

• A completed and signed 'residence permit' application form ( you can download it here )
• A passport that will be valid for at least three months after the requested visa expires
• A recent (taken within the last six months) passport-size photo in colour
• Documents supporting the purpose of your stay (aka university acceptance documents if you're in Hungary to study or a contract if you've come to work)
• Documents showing you have accommodation (like a lease)
• Proof that you have enough funds to support yourself
• Health insurance or enough funds to cover it

Good to know: If your application for a residence permit is declined, you have eight days from the moment you received the notification to submit an appeal to the regional directorate of the Office for Immigration and Nationality that processed your application. The appeal takes another 30 days to be processed.
