Everything you need to know about Hungary’s new travel restrictions!
Change language:
From 7 March 2022, the pre-pandemic situation in tourism will be restored, travellers will be able to enter Hungary freely once again, without restrictions, and they will no longer need a test or vaccination certificate. According to experts, this could be a competitive advantage for Hungarian tourism in the next period.
The pre-pandemic system is being restored
A government decree abolishing protective measures against the coronavirus pandemic was published on Friday, revealing that the government would repeal the previous border control measures introduced from autumn 2020 onwards.
On Thursday, at the traditional press conference of the Hungarian Government, it was announced that the restrictions related to the epidemic, which were still in force, would be lifted by the end of the fifth wave of the epidemic, and the use of the immunity certificate would be abolished as well.
The abolition of entry restrictions in practice means that you will be free to enter Hungary again from Monday, March 7.
As before the pandemic, there will no longer be a need for vaccination or recovery certificates or PCR tests. Hungary’s land borders have been open without restrictions to those who came from neighbouring countries since June last year, but air travellers to Budapest or Debrecen and other possible smaller airports have had to prove their protection against the virus until now – this will be abolished from Monday.
