This information details visa and residency requirements for students entering Hungary and the Schengen Area to study at BSM in the Fall/Spring semester.
Some of you will need a Visa to enter Hungary. All students will require a Residence Permit to stay in Hungary for the semester (in this case, more than 90 days).
Preparation for your semester in Hungary depends on your citizenship.
North American and other eligible citizens:
You are a citizen of a country with a tourist visa waiver agreement with Hungary. As a student studying and living in Budapest for more than 90 days, you are required to obtain a Residence Permit. You may do this at the Immigration Office in Budapest, with the help of BSM staff after you arrive.
