Hungary Embassy Vienna

Before your visit

Note that the consular section works from a different address: Schenkenstrasse 3, 1010 Vienna (1st district).

The embassy and its staff

Ambassador Edit Szilagyine Batorfi has headed the embassy since July 2023. The embassy’s diplomatic staff numbers 22, according to the Austrian Foreign Ministry. Its team includes a defence attaché. Do not confuse the embassy with Hungary’s permanent mission to the OSCE: that mission deals with multilateral diplomacy only.

• Any previous passport and your Hungarian address card (lakcímkártya), if you have one
• Without a valid Hungarian document: photo ID such as a foreign passport or driving licence
• Births, marriages or name changes abroad must first be registered in Hungary
• Consular fee; the passport is produced in Hungary (usually 3–6 weeks)
