INFORMATION ON SCHENGEN VISA
As of December 19th 2011, 26 states are part of the Schengen Area: 23 states of the 28 members of the European Union (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) as well as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein. (Among the member states of the European Union, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland and Romania do not issue Schengen visas.)
The Schengen Visas are valid for maximum 90 days within a 180-day period. Rules for a stay longer than 90 days are defined by national law. A Schengen Visa can be obtained as Single Entry, Double Entry or Multiple Entry visa, each describing the number of times you can enter the Schengen area. Schengen Visas are valid for maximum 90 days within a 180-day period.
IMPORTANT REMARKS
The Consulate can ask for additional documents as applications are dealt with on a case-to-case basis and this information leaflet cannot cover all eventualities. A final decision on the visa cannot be made unless all required documentation is provided. Please note that changes to your travel itinerary and / or accommodation after submission of your application are not possible. In such an event a new application (incl. fee) has to be made. Please note that the acceptance/processing of your application do not guarantee that your visa will be approved and issued. There is no legal right to a visa. Holders of Schengen visas are still subject to immigration controls and are not guaranteed entry into any of the Schengen countries. It is advisable to bring copies of the submitted documentation in your hand-luggage as immigration authorities at the border might request to examine information regarding your stay in the Schengen territory. All documents to be presented in connection with the visa application shall be original. Please bring one copy of each original document with you. Any request for waiving this requirement shall be rejected without further consideration. The original documents will be sent/given back. They may be asked for when crossing the Hungarian border. The Consulate reserves the right to examine the authenticity of the communicated data and the submitted documents. The communication of false data in itself will lead to the refusal of the visa application. False statements or attempts to provide the Consulate with fraudulent documents result in the rejection of the visa application, i.e., the visa will not be issued. You may also be liable to prosecution under the law of the Schengen States. The Consulate is not liable for any expenses incurred by the applicants. Upon collection of your visa you have to provide non-transferable, confirmed, paid tickets, confirmation of full payment or credit card guarantee. If you are planning to visit more Schengen States, then the documents submitted must also contain information on your stay in the other Schengen States (e.g. if you plan to visit Hungary and the Czech Republic, you must not only hand in proof of hotel reservation in Hungary, but also in the Czech Republic, the same applies to ticket reservations and so on...)
