For EU citizens

European Union citizens are guaranteed insurance coverage through the European Health Insurance Card when they are in another member state, granting them social security entitlements and responsibilities equivalent to those of the host member state. The EU card specifically covers essential medical services, while it does not grant authorization for non-urgent or deferred healthcare.
Please have your European Health Insurance Card with you while you are in Hungary. If you have it already, please check the expiry date. An expired card cannot be accepted.
You can find information about the EU Health Insurance Card here:
