Hungary: Translations Delayed for Russian Documents

Fragomen has reported delays in arranging certified translations of documents from Russian to Hungarian, including birth and marriage certificates. Translation now takes approximately 30 business days to obtain, up from 10 business days. Alternatively, applicants requiring Hungarian translations of Russian documents may seek certified translation in Russia and legalization of translated documents at the Hungarian consulate in Russia when filing their residence permit or D visa application. The Hungarian consulate will then legalize the translation, which can be used during the next steps of the immigration process at the Hungarian Immigration and Labor office. Affected applicants are advised to promptly seek translation and anticipate document procurement delays.
