What Does Hungary Require for a Schengen Visa?
To obtain a Schengen visa for Hungary (or any Schengen country), EU law mandates travel insurance that covers:
Minimum Medical Coverage
€30,000
Emergency Evacuation
Required — included in all our plans
Repatriation of Remains
Required — included in all our plans
Geographic Validity
All 29 Schengen countries

Healthcare Costs in Hungary
Hungary offers lower healthcare costs than Western Europe, but private emergency care for tourists in Budapest can still reach €3,000–€15,000 per incident.
What happens without insurance?
As a Schengen visa holder in Hungary, you are not entitled to public healthcare. Every medical interaction — from a GP visit to emergency surgery — is billed to you directly at private rates. One serious incident can result in bills that dwarf the cost of your entire trip. Travel insurance transfers that risk for as little as $8/week.

Yes, in most cases. If your visa is denied before your travel begins, you may request a refund by providing a copy of your visa denial letter. Contact Tower Hill at support@towerhillcorp.com or (832) 856-1704 and we will coordinate the refund request with the carrier on your behalf.
