Turkish passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Hungary. Apply at the Hungarian Embassy in Ankara or through a VFS Global center. The short-stay visa costs EUR 80 (about TRY 2,960) and allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period across the Schengen area. Required documents include a completed application form, passport photos, travel insurance covering at least EUR 30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, and bank statements. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure from the Schengen area. Processing takes 10 to 15 working days.

Hungary is a popular destination for Turkish students and tourists. The 90/180 Schengen rule applies across all member states combined, not per country.
