A decree issued by the prime minister banning entry to Hungary by foreign nationals, with some exceptions, has been published in the official gazette Magyar Kozlony. The planned ban, taking effect on Sept. 1 to contain the spread of the coronavirus, was announced on Friday.

Exceptions to the ban are made for foreigners on official business involving state organisations, those certified to receive health care, students with a certification from an educational institution, lorry drivers returning home, visitors taking part in family events such as weddings, and participants of international sporting, cultural or church events.

Foreigners whose applications for entry are approved must go into a mandatory 14-day quarantine

which may be lifted only after two negative Covid-19 tests taken at least 48 hours apart.

According to 24.hu, Hungary will organize the Super Cup final in Budapest which many see as a test round of organising international matches in front of fans. Related to the event, the government is expected to publish a new decree.

The decree allows for the unrestricted entry by foreign executives or employees of Hungarian companies as well as of foreign companies registered in some designated countries.

A separate decree issued by the interior minister specifies those designated countries as “any country”.

Foreign commuters residing no more than 30km from the Hungarian border are allowed entry into the country for periods of no more than 24 hours.

Foreign travellers in

transit are also allowed entry into the country if they can certify their destinations and reasons for travel.

They must remain on designated travel routes and must leave the country within 24 hours.

The decree stipulates that Hungarians returning from abroad must also go into a mandatory 14-day quarantine. The quarantine may be lifted only after the arrival produces two negative Covid-19 tests taken at least 48 hours apart.

    I’m looking at the police guy in the pic. I wonder what it feels like enforcing tyranny. Dude’s probably power tripping right now. Then he goes on to politics, if he’s a good enough liar. And deep enough pockets. Taking along the lessons he’s learned enforcing his masters’ orders in younger days. Whole cadres of them learning the ropes of tyranny right now.
    THIS IS TYRANNY!!!
    Tyrannical tyranny. By tyrants. In the Hungarian government.

    Foreign nationals with permanent Hungarian residency (and their close family members) as well as those who hold a permit of stay for more than 90 days are treated the same way as Hungarian citizens.
