Please note the ELTE Faculty of Law does not support visa inquiries monetarily or financially, and does not bear any liability arising from the denial of the granting of your visa or residence permit.
- Students who come from countries which require visa to Hungary will receive a "Confirmation of Acceptance" letter from the ELTE Faculty of Law Admissions Office. They need to apply for a long-term visa. Please note that this type of visa is a single entry visa. This visa can be obtained from the Hungarian Consulates worldwide. In countries which do not have a Hungarian Consulate, students can use the network of the Honorary Consulates
- Please submit your visa application documents as early as possible. Please also note that the aliens policing authority has the right to ask for further documents (e.g. academic records).
- Please do not travel to Hungary on a tourist visa (C-type Visa) or a Schengen visa/residence permit, in the expectation that you can change your visa status while in Hungary. This is not possible and such students have to return to their home country to apply for a long-term visa, a process which can take up to six weeks.
- Upon completion of the LL.M program, all non-EU participants are required to return to, and to reside in their home country, and are not permitted to stay or attempt to stay in Hungary or any other EU Member States.
