Hungary is in both the EU and the Schengen area, so flights from the Netherlands are treated as intra-Schengen with no passport control on arrival. Bring your ID for airline boarding requirements.

This is free for EU citizens and requires proof of employment, study enrollment, or sufficient funds (no fixed threshold).
