Information on the travel restrictions during the period of state of epidemiological preparedness

 

Due to the existence of the grave risk that endangers Hungary’s public order and internal security, the Hungarian Government temporary reintroduces border control on all of its internal borders as of 1 September, 2020.

The following foreign persons shall receive the same treatment as Hungarian citizens:

  • persons entitled to permanent residence in Hungary and their family members, provided that this right is certified by a document, and
  • persons holding a valid permit to reside for more than 90 days within the territory of Hungary issued by the immigration authority under any legal title, who present the document to that effect upon entering the country.

 

Documents that entitle the holder to reside within the territory of Hungary for more than 90 days:

  • visas entitling the holder to reside for more than 90 days within a period of 180 days,
  • residence permits,
  • immigration permits,
  • permanent residence permits,
  • temporary residence permits,
  • national permanent residence permits,
  • EC permanent residence permits.

 

When entering the territory of Hungary, persons arriving from abroad may be subjected to a health screening, which they shall be required to tolerate. A person whose health screening raises the suspicion of the infection shall be placed in a quarantine facility designated by the competent epidemiological authority or – if doing so does not pose any epidemiological risk – in an official home quarantine.

 

If a person’s health screening raises no suspicion of the infection the citizen shall be placed in official home quarantine for 14 days or in a quarantine facility designated by the competent epidemiological authority for 14 days.

If the molecular biological examinations – SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests – carried out on two occasions verify that at the time of the examinations, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus could not be detected in the body of the person placed in quarantine, the epidemiological authority competent to issue a decision ordering quarantine shall grant exemption from the provision ordering quarantine.
