Current Travel Situation
Hungary to India: What You Need to Know
India is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations, offering the Taj Mahal, the ghats of Varanasi, Rajasthan's palaces and deserts, Kerala's backwaters, the beaches of Goa, and the Himalayan foothills. The Indian e-Visa system has made travel significantly easier for Hungarian citizens. e-Tourist Visas are available with 30-day single, or 1-year or 5-year double-entry options. Entry is permitted through designated e-Visa airports and seaports.
How to Get There
The Indian e-Visa covers tourism, business, and medical purposes. For work, study, or long-term stays, appropriate visa categories must be applied for at the Indian Embassy or Consulate.
Money & Banking
Indian rupee (INR) is the currency. ATMs widely available in cities. Cards accepted at hotels and tourist-facing establishments. Cash essential for smaller temples, street food, and rural areas. Currency exchange at authorized money changers.
Practical Tips
India requires a printed or digital copy of your e-Visa at immigration. India's railway network is vast; book trains via the IRCTC website in advance as popular routes sell out. Download Ola or Uber for safe city transport. Drink only bottled water. Some sites such as the Taj Mahal require separate entry ticket booking.
