Appointments:
Appointments can be booked directly through our online booking system. Direct link can be found on the bottom of this page, right after the following useful information.
One person may book one appointment only for a consular service. If you book more appointments for the same consular service all of the appointments should be cancelled by the Consulate without prior notice. Please make sure that you arrive in time for your appointment. In case you can not come for your appointment you should cancel it in advance.
Please note that we use the same Appointment Booking System, therefore we can not issue earlier appointments. Please download and fill in all the required documents before coming to the Consulate . If you fail to prepare your application properly you might be advised to book a new appointment and come back later.
Please note that in most of the cases the Consulate only receives the applications and forward them to the competent Hungarian authority, therefore the Consulate can not accelerate the procedures. If you wish to get an update about your case please contact directly the competent Hungarian authority.
