Overview
If you’re an Indian professional, entrepreneur, or corporate delegate traveling to attend conferences, meetings, or trade events in Hungary, you’ll require a Hungary Business Visa (Short-Stay Schengen Visa – Type C).
This visa allows short-term business travel within Hungary and other Schengen countries. While it enables business discussions, it does not permit employment or local paid work. Hungary, known for its thriving industries and central European trade connections, is a hub for professionals seeking global partnerships.
Apply for your Hungary Business Visa via the official Hungarian Consulate or VFS Global portal:
