About the Hungarian Embassy in Berlin
The Hungarian Embassy in Berlin is the official diplomatic representation of Hungary in Germany. It represents Hungarian interests and supports political, economic, cultural and institutional relations between Hungary and Germany.
Relations between the two countries are shaped by close historical ties, extensive economic links and their membership in the European Union and NATO. A particularly important moment in modern German-Hungarian relations came in 1989, when Hungary opened its border with Austria to refugees from East Germany.
Today, bilateral cooperation includes trade, investment, European affairs, education, culture and security. Germany is also an important economic partner for Hungary, with strong links between German companies and Hungarian industry.
In addition to its diplomatic work, the embassy operates a consular section that provides consular services for Hungarian citizens living within its regional jurisdiction.
Visa Information
Hungarian citizens do not need a visa for Germany. As citizens of the European Union, they can enter Germany with a valid Hungarian passport or national identity card and benefit from EU freedom of movement.
German citizens likewise do not need a visa to travel to Hungary. They can enter Hungary with a valid German passport or identity card.
Because Hungary and Germany are both members of the Schengen Area, normal travel between the two countries generally takes place without routine immigration controls at internal Schengen borders.
German and other EEA citizens who intend to remain in Hungary for more than 90 days may have to register their residence with the Hungarian immigration authorities. Different rules apply to third-country nationals who require a Hungarian visa or residence permit.
Consular Services
The consular section of the Hungarian Embassy in Berlin provides a broad range of administrative and consular services for Hungarian citizens living or staying in Germany.

- Registration of births, marriages and other civil events
- Address and residence-related procedures

Many consular matters generally require the applicant to appear in person. However, selected procedures, such as certain address changes, civil status certificates or administrative notifications, can also be handled by post.
Applicants should first determine which Hungarian consular office in Germany is responsible for their place of residence before starting a procedure.
