Which Hungary Consulate Covers Your State? India Jurisdiction

Knowing your office matters most when you need a long-stay (D) appointment, because those are requested by e-mail from the office that covers your state. Below you will find the full state list, the VFS Global centres in each zone, how each office handles D visas and appeals, and both offices' contact details, as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. For fees, documents and the complete application process, see our Hungary visa guide for Indian passport holders.

Which Hungarian office covers your state or union territory?

The consular districts below come from the Embassy's consular representations page. Find your state of residence in the right-hand column.

A few placements catch applicants out. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh border Maharashtra, yet both sit with the Embassy in New Delhi, not with Mumbai. East India has no separate Hungarian visa office on the official list: West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand and all eight North-Eastern states fall under New Delhi. Lakshadweep belongs to the Mumbai district, even though the Embassy's short overview text leaves it out.

Which VFS centres can you use in each zone?

Hungary works with VFS Global, which runs 16 centres for Hungarian visas in India. The Embassy's page lists the centres for its own zone; the southern and western centres appear as checklist links for the Mumbai consulate on the VFS site.

For a short-term C (Schengen) visa, you arrange the appointment directly with VFS Global, not with the Embassy or the Consulate. Choose a centre inside your own zone. Each applicant pays the visa fee of INR 9600 (adults), INR 4800 (children aged 6 to 12) or INR 0 (children under 6), plus the VFS service fee of INR 2133 with biometrics or INR 1600 without biometrics. Visa fees are not refundable.

Does your office change how long a C visa takes?

No. The Embassy in New Delhi and the Consulate General in Mumbai publish the same rule: a decision within 15 calendar days, which may be extended to a maximum of 45 calendar days in individual cases. VFS adds a processing time declaration stating that the Consulate General takes 15 calendar days and that biometric discrepancies make it longer. You can lodge an application no earlier than six months before the visit.

A C visa can allow single, double or multiple entries, but every stay is capped at 90 days within any 180-day period counted from the first entry. Indians who obtained and lawfully used two visas within the previous three years qualify for a two-year multiple-entry visa under the European Commission's decision of 18 April 2024, whichever Hungarian office examines the file.

The European Commission publishes one refusal figure for both offices together. For Schengen applications lodged at Hungarian consulates in India, the refusal rate was 13.1% in 2025 (2,106 visas not issued; 16,251 applications lodged) and 13.2% in 2024 (2,548 visas not issued; 19,243 applications lodged). These numbers describe past decisions; they do not predict yours.

How do long-stay (D) appointments work in New Delhi and Mumbai?

D visas follow a different path, and here the jurisdiction decides whom you write to:

• New Delhi zone: e-mail appointment.del@mfa.gov.hu to request an appointment. On the day, lodge the application in the morning at VFS New Delhi (27 KG Marg, Connaught Place), pay the fee by card there, and attend a consular interview at the Embassy (2/50-M Niti Marg, Chanakyapuri) on the next working day.
• Mumbai zone: request the appointment from the Consulate General at appointments.mum@mfa.gov.hu. Students in this zone book with the Consulate General, according to the student-route guidance.

The D visa fee is Rs.11740 (EUR 123) for every long-term category, plus a VFS biometric charge of INR 1920. There is no fee waiver except for holders of diplomatic and service passports. You must submit in person, because fingerprints are taken at submission.

One category is effectively closed. Since 1 January 2025, Government Decree 450/2024 allows employment and guest-worker residence permits only for nationals of listed countries, and India is not among them. The Embassy says it will not issue appointments for employment D-visa applications for an indefinite period. The Mumbai consulate's D-visa page still lists Purpose of Employment for VFS submission, but the Embassy and the immigration authority (OIF) say employment permits are closed to Indian nationals, so confirm in writing with the Consulate before you pay anything. Neither office states whether the suspension also covers EU Blue Card applications.

Where do refusals and appeals go?

For a refused, annulled or revoked C visa, you lodge the appeal in person, or through a holder of power of attorney, within 8 calendar days of receiving the refusal (3 days for annulment or revocation). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs decides within 15 days (5 days for annulment or revocation).

For D visas, the Consulate General in Mumbai publishes an appeal fee of INR 12800, paid by card when the appeal is lodged and not refunded in any case. Read the refusal letter carefully, because it tells you which authority made the decision.

Jurisdiction mistakes to avoid

• Writing to the wrong office for a D appointment. A Bhopal or Raipur resident writes to New Delhi; a Hyderabad or Kochi resident writes to Mumbai.
• Booking a centre outside your zone without checking. The official pages group the centres by office, so pick one listed under yours.
• Buying the wrong insurance. Every applicant, including children, needs travel medical insurance from a company on the Embassy's approved list of Indian insurers.
• Carrying too few tax returns. The VFS checklist asks for income tax return acknowledgments for two assessment years, while the Embassy's page asks for three. Carrying three years avoids a query.
• Sending someone else without paperwork. If a third person submits or collects, the authorisation must be signed by you and certified by a public notary.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hungary have a consulate in Kolkata, Chennai or Bengaluru?

No Hungarian visa office is listed in those cities. Kolkata residents fall under the Embassy in New Delhi, while Chennai and Bengaluru residents fall under the Consulate General in Mumbai. VFS Global runs application centres in all three cities.

Which Hungarian office covers Madhya Pradesh?

The Embassy of Hungary in New Delhi covers Madhya Pradesh, as well as Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Residents of these states use the New Delhi appointment e-mail for D visas.

Is there a Hungary eVisa or visa on arrival for Indians?

No. Indians need a C (Schengen) visa before travel, lodged in person at a VFS Global centre after booking an appointment. India is not on the EU visa-exemption list.

Can I lodge a Hungary D visa application at any VFS centre?

For the New Delhi zone, the Embassy asks D applicants to lodge at VFS New Delhi (27 KG Marg, Connaught Place) after getting an appointment by e-mail, followed by an interview at the Embassy the next working day. Mumbai-zone applicants request their appointment from the Consulate General at appointments.mum@mfa.gov.hu.
