As far as I know, you have to fill in the police form (in Hungarian mainly) if your origin (departure point is) from a red country.聽聽

Look at the other COVID19 thread in these forums you can find the link to the police form or check it out .

Contrary to some sites saying it's all in Hungarian, it's also in English.聽 Look .聽 Port of entry is not obvious - you have to put Liszt Ferenc as it doesn't know Budapest Airport.

As I understand it, there are two different forms floating around.

One is a request for special permission from the police to enter Hungary. As I read the rules, this is for NON-RESIDENT foreigners arriving from a red country, who cannot enter Hungary without a special exemption. Resident foreigners arriving from a red country are treated the same as Hungarian citizens: they can enter the country without special permission but may be subject to quarantine.

The other is a declaration to be presented to the health authorities on arrival by everyone arriving from a red or yellow country.
