Current Travel Situation
Georgia to Hungary: What You Need to Know
Hungary is a Schengen member and the 90-day visa-free allowance for Georgian citizens covers tourism, business, and family visits. Georgia's visa liberalisation with the EU came into force in March 2017 following successful implementation of the EU-Georgia Association Agreement.
Georgia received EU candidate status in December 2023. Hungary, though at times at odds with EU consensus on various issues, remains bound by the Schengen visa policy that grants Georgia visa-free short stays.
When ETIAS launches, Georgian travellers will need to obtain an online travel authorisation before entering Schengen countries. The process will be simple and inexpensive, but the launch date has been delayed multiple times.
Practical Tips
Budapest is accessible from Tbilisi via Istanbul or Vienna. Hungary uses the Hungarian forint (HUF), not the Euro. Travel insurance is recommended. Budapest offers affordable accommodation compared to Western Europe.
