Tips for a successful Hungary Schengen visa application in the Philippines

Achieving a successful Hungary Schengen visa application involves more than just filling out forms and providing documents. Here are some helpful tips from us at iVisa to guide Filipino citizens through the process:

Start early: We recommend starting your application process at least two months before your planned departure. Some applications may take longer to process, so it's best to allow ample time.

Understand the requirements: Ensure you understand all the visa requirements, eligibility criteria, and financial conditions. Each document should be provided as accurately and thoroughly as possible.

Use our passport photo service: Avoid visa application delays by ensuring your passport photos meet the required standards. Using our passport photo service can make this step quick and stress-free.

Provide a detailed itinerary: Clearly state the purpose of your visit and provide a detailed itinerary of your plans in Hungary and any other Schengen countries you plan to visit.

Proof of financial sufficiency: Demonstrate your financial ability to support yourself during your stay in Hungary. This can be shown with recent bank statements, pay slips, or proof of income.

Proof of ties to home country: Providing evidence of your ties to the Philippines (like a job, family, property, etc.) can increase the chances of your application being accepted, as it shows you're likely to return home after your visit.

Prepare for your visa interview: Arrive on time for your interview with all the necessary documents. Practice answering potential interview questions about your trip, financial situation, and ties to your home country.

Keep up-to-date: Stay updated with the latest visa information and changes in requirements. You can use our mobile app to keep track of your applications progress.

Common reasons for Hungary Schengen visa refusals in the Philippines

While we strive to provide all the necessary information and support to ensure a successful visa application, it's important to understand the common reasons that could result in a Hungary Schengen visa refusal.

Awareness of these factors can help you take extra care while preparing your application:

Incomplete or incorrect documents: Always double-check that all the required documents are included and correctly filled out in your application. An application with missing or inaccurate information can lead to a refusal.

Insufficient proof of financial means: You must prove that you can financially support yourself throughout your stay in Hungary. Your application may be refused if you cannot provide sufficient evidence.

Invalid or no travel insurance: It's mandatory to have valid travel insurance that covers your entire stay in the Schengen area. An insurance policy that does not meet the requirements can result in a visa refusal.

Overstaying past visas: If you have a history of overstaying your visa in the Schengen area, this could lead to your application being denied.

Lack of ties to your home country: Providing evidence of strong ties to your home country can increase the likelihood of your application being accepted. If you cannot prove your intention to return to the Philippines, your application may be refused.

Knowing these common reasons for visa refusals, you can better prepare your application to avoid these pitfalls. Remember, at iVisa, we're always here to help guide you through the process.

What to expect after submitting the Hungary Schengen visa application in the Philippines?

After submitting your Hungary Schengen visa application, it will pass through several stages:

Review: Your application is reviewed by the consular office to ensure accuracy and consistency. Any inconsistencies might lead to delays or even rejection.

Processing: The visa processing can take up to 60 days by the government. Therefore, applying well ahead of your planned travel date is advisable.

Interview: You must attend the interview, where questions about your trip specifics will be asked.

Decision: The visa decision is made after processing. The validity period could be shorter than requested.

Visa stamp/sticker: If your application is approved, your visa will be placed in your passport.

Pick-up or delivery: Depending on your chosen method, you can collect your passport from the consulate or have it delivered to your home address.

Remember, a refusal is not the end of the road. Many applicants who were refused at first successfully obtain a visa on their subsequent attempts, especially with the proper guidance and assistance.

Keep your spirits high, and don't hesitate to seek help from our team at iVisa if you need guidance!

Safety and Security

Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights) 

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad, including in Europe. For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime: Although Hungary is generally a safe place to visit, you should use caution and stay alert. Be especially careful in crowded tourist areas, train stations, buses, trams, and metros.

Passports, cash, and credit cards are favorite targets of thieves. The Embassy regularly receives reports of pickpocketing on the trains between Budapest and Vienna, so please be especially mindful of your belongings when traveling this route. There have been some instances in Budapest where U.S. citizens were overcharged exorbitant prices for food, beverages, or taxi services. Always verify the cost before making a purchase.

There have been incidents, although rare, where U.S. citizens were unknowingly drugged. Do not accept food or drink from anyone but a server. Additionally, the Embassy has received reports of racially motivated assaults. Please report all crimes to the local police. In an emergency dial 112 for help and contact the U.S. Embassy for follow-up assistance.

General tips to avoid becoming a victim of crime:

U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance .

In this article, learn more about how to apply for a Hungary short-term visa from the Philippines, Hungary visa appointment booking, visa application process in the Philippines.

An Overview of Schengen Visa for Short-term Stay in Hungary

Hungary is a part of the Schengen area  i.e. a group of countries which carry out no checks at their common borders and which have brought their efforts to fulfill the right of free movement of persons to a successful end.

More information about the Schengen area can be found  here . 

To enter Hungary as a Philippine passport holder (and any other countries in the Schengen zone), you must obtain a Schengen Visa first.  You can get a tourist visa (if touring the country is your primary purpose) or a visit visa (if your main objective is to visit a family, friend, or significant other).

With a Schengen Visa, you may come and stay to Hungary for up to 90 days total starting from the date of entry to the date of exit.  This 90-day stay may start and end anytime within the dates stipulated in the visa validity period (180 days).

Hungary Visa Conditions for Philippine Citizens

If you are a Philippine passport holder and you are planning to apply for a Hungarian Schengen visa, you must fulfill these conditions:

• Hungary is your main destination. It means that you will visit Hungary only and have no plans of visiting any other neighboring Schengen country ( sa Hungary ka lang pupunta at mag-stay ); or you will stay the longest in Hungary.
• You have plans of visiting other Schengen countries, but Hungary is where you will be staying the longest. ( Pupunta ka pa sa ibang Schengen countries, pero sa Hungary ang pinaka-mahabang stay mo ).

Example: You will stay in Hungary for 14 days to visit a family member or a relative. After that, you will go to Belgium, France, and Germany for a 2-week side trip, before returning to the Philippines.

• The main purpose of your travel is in Hungary. You have plans of visiting other Schengen countries, but the focus of your travel is in Hungary.
• Hungary is your port of entry. You have plans of visiting multiple Schengen countries for the same number of days, pero Hungary ang iyong first point of entry .

Important Documents to Prepare

All Hungary visa applications will be coursed through  VFS Global   Hungary Schengen Visa Application Center.

You can submit your application up to 6 months before, but no later than 15 days before your intended departure date. If you apply less than 15 days ahead, there may not be enough time for your application to be processed as this takes at least 15 days.

Now, depending on your circumstance or Visa type that you wish to apply for, below are the list of corresponding requirements for each section. Take note that the listed requirements are arranged in order  — meaning, the Embassy requires you to arrange these documents in such order upon submission  (so take note of the order/numbering below).

Of course, always make sure that you have authentic, original, and complete documents at all times.

Below are the list of documents that are required to be submitted when applying for a Poland Schengen Visa for the purpose of tourism or visiting family or friends in this Schengen area.

Note: Prepare two sets of each document—one original set and one photocopy.

Form must be filled out on-line, printed out and signed personally by the applicant (for minors, the application shall be signed personally by at least one of the parents or a legal guardian while submitting the application). All entries should be properly filled out – no blanks.

The cover letter details the purpose of your journey to Hungary plus your complete itinerary indicating all of the places you are planning to visit while you’re there.

Not older than 10 years (extended passports are not accepted).

5. Consent Background Verification —the applicant should provide consent to the Hungarian Embassy to do a background check. The purpose of this is to verify that the applicant is who they claim to be and provides opportunity for someone to check a person’s criminal record, education, employment history, and other activities happened in the past to confirm the applicant’s validity.

So, make sure na hindi fake ang anumang information or documents na iprovide ninyo because the Embassy have ways to find out and to verify if all information that the applicant provided.

6. Documents indicating the purpose of the journey and countries to be visited – At this part, it’s good practice to include a cover letter along with this itinerary document so that you can properly explain the purpose of your trip.

 8. A copy of your roundtrip flight reservation .  Do NOT buy flight tickets before the visa is issued because the Polish Embassy will NOT take any responsibility for the costs you’ll incur if your visa gets denied.

9.   Proof of Accomodation, copy(ies) . These are confirmed hotel reservation(s) only for the entire duration of your stay in the Schengen countries containing the name and contact details of the hotel(s) as well as the reservation number.

So yes, you can make reservations without any payment, you can change the reservation anytime, AND you can cancel them at no cost as well if in case your HungarySchengen visa is not approved.

10. Proof of financial capacity  to show that you (or your sponsor) can support your expenses for the whole duration of your travel.

• For those traveling without a sponsor:  this means that you will cover all your expenses during the entire duration of your travel.

• Bank statements  – must show records of the past six months. A bank statement shows your transactions in your account at a specific period. It will show debits (withdrawals, payments, taxes, service fees) and credits (deposits, interest earned.) Bank Statements can also be seen online especially if you have a registered account. There is no signature for the manager or a bank officer.

It is what the Consul will look for in your visa application. So how do you prove that you are firmly established in the Philippines and that you will go back to your home country? This can either be:  Confirmation of employment / private business / studies / pension.

You need to convince them that you will return to the Philippines.  Insufficient evidence of deep-rootedness to your home country is also one of the chief reasons for visa denial.

Common Reasons for Schengen Visa Rejection

Here are the common reasons a Schengen Visa application gets denied:

• No clear travel purpose —a detailed cover letter is a must!
• Lack of strong ties —reevaluate your application and prove why you must return to your home country!
• Insufficient travel insurance coverage —make sure you get the right policy!
• No proof of financial means —convince them that you can afford your trip! Provide bank or credit card statements, VUL, investment portfolio, etc.
• Passport does not have 2 free pages —where will they attach the visa if your passport pages are already full? You should get a new passport before applying for a visa if there are no more available pages on your old one!
• No proof of accommodation —you need to prove them that you have a place to stay in the Schengen Area.

The decision will be either:

• Rejected – this could have been for many reasons

Rejection reasons include:

• No proof of residence – if you are a non-citizen of the country you are applying from, you must provide proof of your residence status
• You provided false information – you must give true answers to the questions you are asked when applying for a visa. If you don’t, the chances of you being found out are high and it could affect your chance to travel now and in the future
• Purpose of travel is not clear – you must be absolute on why you wish to travel to Hungary. Not only will this determine the type of visa you apply for but, also, the embassy needs to know why you wish to go there
