The declaration addressed to the asylum authority can be submitted at a diplomatic representation of Hungary located outside of the Schengen Area (hereinafter: embassy) with the content defined and published by the asylum authority.

Based on the information provided by the asylum authority, the embassy of Hungary issues a travel document valid for 30 days, provided that the foreigner does not hold a permit for entry into Hungary.

3. In case the asylum authority does not support the issuance of travel document based on the assessment concluded, the authority informs the foreign national about this via the embassy.

4. During the procedure the asylum authority contacts the foreign national exclusively via the embassies.

  2. Border police shall bring the foreign national to the asylum authority within 24 hours at the latest.
  3. Asylum authority may issue an order to designate accommodation for the asylum seeker in a closed reception centre. Asylum authority shall determine subsequent accommodation in accordance with the general rules of the asylum procedure four weeks after the application has been lodged, provided that the conditions for ordering asylum detention are not met.

 

Specific measures
