Madagascar Visa Requirements for Hungary Citizens
Is a Visa Required?
Yes. Travellers with a Hungarian passport normally need an approved Madagascar visa before departure, so it is best to apply before final travel day arrangements.
How the System Works
The online process lets you submit your application, upload documents, and receive the approved visa by email without visiting an embassy in person.
Visitors from Hungary usually choose 15-day, 30-day, or 60-day options depending on the length of their holiday or planned stay in Madagascar.
Before choosing a permit duration, confirm your travel dates carefully so the approved stay period covers the full trip, including arrival, internal travel, and your return journey.
Document Checklist for Hungarian Applicants
The electronic permit is generally issued for single entry. Check your eligibility and travel schedule before confirming flights, hotels, or other non-refundable bookings.

- Clear scan of the passport bio-data page with readable text and photo.

- Accurate travel details entered exactly as shown in your passport and itinerary.
