IMPORTANT / IN-PERSON APPLICATION

VISA VALIDITY

Single entry. All visa issuance is subject to consular discretion.

APPOINTMENT REQUIREMENT (IN-PERSON)

Please note that the Hungary (VFSGlobal) Visa Application Centre only accepts visa applications via an appointment system. YOU MUST ATTEND THE APPOINTMENT IN-PERSON YOURSELF TO FILE THE APPLICATION (see also below biometric enrolment requirement).
To make an appointment, please book online (http://www.vfsglobal.com/hungary/uk/schedule_an_appointment.html). You may also re-schedule / cancel the appointment using the same web link.

BIOMETRIC ENROLMENT

All Schengen visa applicants (apart from Minors under 12 years old) are required to enrol their biometric data when submitting a Schengen visa application. These biometric data will be collected using a quick, discreet and non-intrusive process that captures a facial image with a digital camera and a 10-digit fingerprint scan with a digital fingerprint scanner.

CONSULAR FEES PAYMENT

You must also make payment of the consular fees yourself (see processing times section below for full pricing structure).
All fees can be paid by cash (except in Edinburgh), Credit/Debit card or Postal Orders in the name of “Hungary Visa Application Centre”. Cheque payments and direct bank transfers are not accepted.

RETURN DELIVERY

When applicants are unable to collect in person themselves, they may authorise another person to collect the passport on their behalf. The nominated person will need to bring an authorisation letter (see example here) signed by the applicant, the applicant’s passport photocopy with the stapled receipt and some proof of Identity (with photograph).
Alternatively, applicants unable to collect their passports within the given time slots, always can opt for Courier Service, whereby passports are returned via Courier Delivery DX at an additional fee of £14.95 per envelope/passport (see below).
APART FROM LONDON, THE COURIER DELIVERY DX FOR THE RETURN OF YOUR PASSPORT IS MANDATORY IN ALL LOCATIONS. YOU CANNOT COLLECT IN-PERSON YOUR ENDORSED PASSPORT FROM THE HUNGARY (VFSGLOBAL) VISA APPLICATION CENTRES IN EDINBURGH.
COURIER SERVICE:
Using the Courier Service allows applicants to have their Passport/Travel document returned by Special Delivery; VFS uses the services of the private courier company DX to any delivery address in the United Kingdom chosen by the applicant. This can be purchased at the time of the visa application submission and you will receive a DX reference number, which can be tracked on the courier company’s website (www.dxdelivery.com) in order to obtain an update about the courier process at any given time.
