Common routes to Hungary

One‑stop flights to Budapest via major hubs (for example, Doha, Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi). Availability changes by season—compare schedules and total travel time.

Fly to Vienna and continue to Budapest by train or coach the same day; this route can be cost‑effective in peak months.

If your university city is Debrecen, Pécs, Szeged, Miskolc, or Győr, plan to arrive in Budapest first, then take an InterCity train or coach.

Transit visa notes

Bangladeshi passport holders may need an airport transit visa for some Schengen airports. Middle‑East hubs usually do not require a Schengen transit visa. Always confirm with your airline and the relevant consulate before booking. We provide a checklist and links to official pages so you can verify the latest rules.

Confirm passport validity, visa, and insurance dates cover travel plus buffer days.

Print or download offer letter, financial proofs (if needed during transit), accommodation confirmation, and return/onward ticket if required.

Pay tuition or deposits as instructed and carry receipts.

Book flights with reasonable layovers; avoid risky short connections.
