Over 2023–2025 the rate ranged from 1.0% (2024) to 1.8% (2025).

Hungary issues Schengen visas at 4 locations in the United States; this office handled 27% of their 863 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Washington D.C. 2.5%, Los Angeles 0.9% and Chicago 1.9%. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.

31.7% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of the United States.

The Hungarian embassy is in Washington D.C., about 333 km away. The Hungarian mission in New York is one of 5 missions of Hungary in the United States. Consulates: Chicago, Miami and Pittsburgh. The United States in turn has an embassy in Budapest.
