Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/hun/visa-type — VFS Global Hungary India (primary lodgement channel for Nepali applicants — book appointment + complete pre-screening online) · https://ujdelhi.mfa.gov.hu — Embassy of Hungary in New Delhi · https://konzuliszolgalat.kormany.hu — Hungarian MFA Consular Service visa-policy hub · https://oif.gov.hu — National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing (in-country residence permits, White Card, Guest Investor Visa)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at VFS Global Hungary India — New Delhi (closest centre to Nepal) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
