Hungary visa for Algerian citizens

Hungary’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities. Processing time, as Hungary states it: Normally 15 calendar days; up to 45 days in individual cases where further checks or documents are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.

Hungary has 1 mission in Algeria, with its embassy in Algiers.

In 2025, Hungary’s embassy and consulates in Algeria (Algiers) received 1,549 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 534. The refusal rate was 64.6%. The refusal rate fell by 2.0 points from 66.6% in 2024. Applications rose by 29% compared with 2024 (1,204).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 31.3% of the applications lodged in Algeria that year, from 27.5% at the consulates of Finland to 81.9% at those of Malta. Hungary’s consulates worldwide refused 13.0%. Hungary was the 13th most applied-for Schengen state in Algeria.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Algeria, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Algeria to Hungary, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Hungary at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 14 April 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Hungary (updated 23 September 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Hungary (updated 13 October 2026). Each ministry writes for its own citizens.
