Hungary Transit Visa

Hungary Transit Visa

Airport transit visa means a visa valid for transit through the international transit areas of one or more airports of the Schengen States. Nationals of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka need airport transit visa for transiting between terminals at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Hungary.

Please note that nationals of Nepal and Sri Lanka must lodge their visa and airport transit visa application with the German Embassy in Kathmandu and Colombo respectively which issue visa on Hungary’s behalf. The airport transit visa application procedure and conditions for issuing such visas are the same as if you wish to visit Germany.

If you transit through several airports in Schengen States, you need to turn to that Schengen State on which territory the first transit airport is situated. You do not need airport transit visa if you

(1) have short stay visa, national long-stay visa or residence permit issued by any Schengen State;

(2) hold a valid residence permit issued by a European Union Member State, or Andorra, Canada, Japan, San Marino or the United States of America guaranteeing your unconditional readmission;

(3) hold a valid visa issued by a European Union Member State, or for Canada, Japan or the United States of America guaranteeing your unconditional readmission when travelling to the issuing country or to any other third country, or when, having used the visa, returning from the issuing country;

(4) are family member of citizens of the European Union;

(5) are holder of diplomatic passport;

(6) are flight crew member and national of a contracting Party to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.

Application procedure for airport transit visa is the same as the one for short stay visa. Supporting documents may however be different.
