AdmissionCovidVisa

New regulations for entering Hungary.

You can enter Hungary without restrictions, regardless of your citizenship, if you:

  • had COVID-19 in the past 6 months, and you have official proof of the illness and recovery in English or in Hungarian, or
  • have a negative PCR test result (not older than 72 hours at the time of arrival) from the following countries: EU member states and/or candidate countries, OECD member states, NATO member states, Russian Federation, People's Republic of China, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Bahrein, Members of the Turkic Council (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan), or
  • have a Hungarian immunity card, or
  • have the EU Digital COVID Certificate, or
  • have immunity/vaccination card from the following countries: Albania, Bahrain, Cyprus, Czech Republic, North Macedonia, Georgia, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Cape Verde, Russia, Switzerland, Romania

To make your life easier, we have developed a quick survey that will tell you whether or not you need to go to quarantine upon arrival. Please, fill it out as soon as possible.

If you do not fall under any of the above categories, and you have a „D”-type visa, or residence permit, you can enter Hungary but will need to stay in quarantine for 10 days. If you do not have a „D”-type visa or residence permit, you shall file a police equity request online. (You shall choose the COVID-02 form, and click on „Nova” to start the procedure).

We would like to highlight, that every international student is entitled to free COVID-19 vaccination in Hungary.

If you are traveling from a country that upon arrival a quarantine (10 days) is required, you can arrive from 18 August, and check into the International Welcome Desk of Szántó Dormitory to do your quarantine there.
