Entry into Hungary depends on your citizenship: EU/EEA/Swiss citizens enter freely with an ID or passport, while travellers from countries like the USA, UK, and Canada are visa-exempt for stays up to 90 days (though ETIAS authorisation is required starting in late 2026). Most other nationalities must obtain a Schengen Visa before arrival. Regardless of visa status, everyone staying longer than 90 days requires a residence permit, and all visitors should carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond their departure date.
To catch the 2026 championship finals in Budapest, your arrival date depends on which major event you are attending, as the city is hosting two massive "finals" this year. If you are coming for the UEFA Champions League Final, the match is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the Puskás Aréna; you should aim to arrive by Friday, May 29, to soak up the pre-match atmosphere.
However, if you are visiting for the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship, that event runs from September 11–13, 2026, at the National Athletics Centre. For this, arriving by Thursday, September 10, is ideal to ensure you are settled before the three-day sprint of global track and field finals begins.
