Travelling from the neighboring countries to Hungary – All details
Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic will open their borders for citizens of the neighbouring country at midnight on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said.
At a press conference held together with ethnic Hungarian leader Hunor Kelemen, Szijjártó said that citizens crossing the borders will not need to be isolated unless they wish to stay in the other country longer than 48 hours. “
We will allow Slovaks to stay 48 hours in Hungary without quarantine and the Slovaks will do the same with Hungarians,” he explained, adding that the same pattern will be applied in Czech-Slovak relations.
Szijjártó warned that Hungarians travelling to the Czech Republic will be allowed to cross Slovakia, however, they cannot enter Slovakia from the Czech Republic and they will need to make a detour through Austria on their way back. Similarly, Czechs will have to return from Hungary via Austria, he added.

What about entering Hungary, from Austria, originating from the USA? USA/ Hungarian dual citizen.
If anybody wants to come to Hungary or leave this country to go somewhere else my advice is to call the embassy! Because this article and other news what media is providing us is most of the time incorrect. Example: It is written here that crossing the Serbian border you must complete 14 days of quarantine, what is not true at all. I called Serbian embassy here in Budapest and they told me that we can travel like we used to before. No quarantine or any kind of tests are needed.
Hi,
Please read this article again, because unfortunately you didn’t read this line, or you can’t understand the spreadsheet.
he/she wishes to enter Hungary from Serbia NO – It’s very clear, you don’t have to go to quarantine.
