Apply for a Schengen Visa
What is a Schengen Visa?
If you're planning to visit any of the Schengen countries but you're not a resident of one, you might need a Schengen visa. A C-type Hungarian visa qualifies as a Schengen visa. Whether you're traveling for pleasure, visiting family or friends, or going on a business trip lasting less than three months, a Schengen visa could be necessary.
But what are the advantages of having a Schengen visa?
The European Schengen visa comes with several benefits. First, it harmonizes visa regulations across member countries, making the application process more streamlined. Additionally, once you have a Schengen visa, you can travel freely within the Schengen Area without facing border controls, making your journey quicker and easier. Plus, if your travels take you to multiple Schengen countries, you'll only need one visa for the entire trip, saving you time and hassle.
