If you’re looking to get the most out of your trip without breaking the bank, Hungary is the perfect destination.

Feeling the excitement?
Before you start packing your bags, there’s one thing you need first: a Hungarian visa (also known as a Schengen visa).

And yes, securing a Schengen visa does involve a bit of paperwork. But don’t worry, we’re here to walk you through the easy procedure and requirements to get your Hungary visa from Bangladesh. Let’s dive in!

Types of Hungary Visas You Can Apply for as a Bangladeshi

When applying for a Hungary visa, you’ll generally be applying for either a short-term Schengen visa or a long-term residence visa.

A Schengen visa allows you to travel freely within the 27 Schengen countries with the same visa, without facing border checks between countries. The type of visa you need depends on the purpose and duration of your stay.

Here’s a breakdown of the types of Hungary visas you can apply for:

1. Short-Term Schengen Visa (C Visa)

This visa is for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across any Schengen member country, including Hungary. It’s ideal for:

  • Tourism
  • Visiting friends or family
  • Short-term business activities (e.g., attending conferences, meetings, or negotiating contracts)

The short-term C visa can be either a single-entry or a double-entry visa, meaning you can enter the Schengen area once or twice, respectively, during the visa’s validity period.

2. Long-Term Visa (D Visa) / Residence Permit

A D visa or residence permit allows you to stay in Hungary for more than 90 days. The duration and conditions of your stay depend on the purpose of your visit, such as:

  • Studying
  • Work
  • Family reunification
  • Research or academic purposes

Long-term visas are usually multiple-entry, allowing you to travel in and out of Hungary and other Schengen countries during the visa’s validity period.

What Can You Do with a Schengen Visit Visa in Hungary?

A Schengen visit visa allows you to engage in several activities during your stay of up to 90 days within the Schengen Area, including Hungary. Here’s what you can do:

  • Airport Transit
  • Tourism
  • Visiting Family or Friends
  • Attending Business Meetings
  • Official Visits
  • Cultural, Sports, and Film Crew Activities
  • Medical Purposes
  • Journalism and Reporting

Each type of activity has its specific requirements, and you can even apply for a Schengen short-term visa for multiple purposes at once. For example, you can apply for a visa that covers both business and tourism activities during your trip.

 
 
 
 
 

How to Get a Hungary Visa from Bangladesh

Obtaining a Hungary visa is relatively straightforward, provided you have all your documents in order. Hungary doesn’t issue short-term Schengen visas directly in Bangladesh. Instead, the German embassy in Dhaka represents Hungary for visa matters.

Germany enjoys a relatively high visa approval rate compared to other Schengen countries, so you’re in good hands. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get a Hungary tourist visa from Bangladesh:

Step 1: Gather All Required Documents

The first and most important step is to gather all the necessary documents. The Schengen visa process requires quite a few documents, and some may need to be translated or notarized. It’s a good idea to start this process 1-2 weeks before your intended application date to ensure everything is in order.

Step 2: Book an Appointment and Fill Out the Application Form

  • Register on the VFS Global website using your email address.
  • Complete the visa application form online and print it for submission.
  • Schedule your appointment with the German embassy through the VFS Global system.
  • Don’t forget to pay the VFS service fee as well.

Step 3: Submit Your Application to the German Embassy

On the scheduled appointment date, bring the following to the embassy:

  • The completed visa application form.
  • All your supporting documents.

Submit them to the embassy’s visa section.

Step 4: Provide Biometrics

During your submission appointment, you’ll also need to give biometric data (fingerprints and photo) as part of the visa application process.

Step 5: Collect Your Passport and Check the Details

Once the embassy has made a decision, you’ll receive an email informing you whether your visa has been approved or rejected.

  • Pick up your passport from the embassy.
  • If your visa is approved, you will find a Schengen visa sticker affixed to your passport, detailing the visa’s validity dates and other important information. Check the details carefully to ensure everything is correct.
  • If your visa is rejected, you’ll receive a rejection letter explaining the reasons for the refusal. Don’t worry, though—you can reapply after a certain waiting period.
