  • Completed Schengen visa application form
  • Two recent passport-size photos (35x45mm, white background) meeting Schengen specifications
  • Confirmed round-trip flight reservation
  • Hotel booking or invitation letter if staying with a host
  • Bank statements for the last 6 months showing sufficient funds (around EUR 50-100 per day of stay)
  • Schengen travel health insurance with minimum EUR 30,000 coverage
  • Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) collected in person at the VFS Global Hungary visa application centre

Visa types

  • Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) - single, double or multiple entry, valid up to 90 days within a 180-day period, fee EUR 80
  • Airport transit visa (Type A) - for travelers transiting through a Hungarian airport
  • Long-stay national visa (Type D) - for study, work or family reunification, with separate documentation and sponsorship

How to apply

  • Book an appointment and submit the application through the VFS Global Hungary Visa Application Centre in Islamabad or Karachi
  • Submit the completed form, photos, passport and all supporting documents in person
  • Pay the visa fee (EUR 80, PKR equivalent) plus the VFS service fee at the centre
  • Standard processing takes 15 calendar days, though it can extend to 30-45 days in complex cases
  • Biometric data is collected for first-time Schengen applicants or those without valid biometrics on file in the last 5 years

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: EUR 80 (PKR equivalent at time of application)
  • VFS Global service fee: approximately PKR 5,000-6,000 additional
  • Total estimated cost: roughly USD 110-130 equivalent
  • Standard processing: 15 calendar days from a complete application
  • Premium/priority service may be available at VFS centres for an additional fee

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply 4-6 weeks before travel to allow for the standard 15-day processing plus any delays
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient funds, weak travel history, unclear ties to Pakistan, inconsistent documents
  • Use premium lounge or prime time VFS services only if genuinely needed, as they add cost without guaranteeing approval
  • Maintain strong proof of ties to Pakistan (employment letter, property, family) to support return intent
  • Extensions within the Schengen area are rare and only granted for exceptional circumstances via the local immigration office in Hungary
