Long-Term Medical Treatment Visa (Type D / Residence Permit)

A letter from the treating hospital or specialist confirming they have accepted you, what the treatment is, when it starts, roughly how long it lasts and what it will cost. It has to come from the treating institution — a general enquiry reply is not the same document. Alongside it, the referral or diagnosis from your doctor in India, so the file shows a continuous medical story rather than a decision to travel that a letter was found for afterwards.

Most medical routes allow one or two attendants, usually close family, applied for at the same time and linked to your application. Funding is the part that gets questioned: the file needs to show the treatment cost covered — savings, insurance, employer or a sponsor's formal undertaking with their own income proof — plus the stay itself. Medical files are also the ones most often needed urgently, so tell us your treatment date first; it changes the whole plan.

Three things sit between today and your trip: preparing the file properly, waiting for an appointment, and the mission's own processing. Hungary currently states 15 calendar days standard processing at the deciding office (Embassy of Hungary, New Delhi for north India; Consulate General of Hungary, Mumbai for south & west). Apply at least 15 calendar days before the intended travel date and no more than 6 months before. Files arriving with less than 15 days' lead time may be returned to VFS without decision. Long-term D visas can take longer (often 30–60 days) depending on case complexity. Long-term Medical D visa decisions can take 30–90 days. for the decision itself. We control the first, which is usually days. The middle depends on slot releases. The third is entirely the mission's and no consultant can shorten it — anyone telling you otherwise is selling something they cannot deliver. Tell us your travel date and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic.

Most of it is not ours. The Hungary government fee (currently ₹11,740) goes to the mission and the visa-centre fee goes to VFS — both charged to you at cost, never marked up, and shown as separate lines on one GST invoice in the registered company name. Our service fee is the only part we set, and it is published rather than quoted case by case.

You send what you have on WhatsApp and a licensed consultant says the same working day whether the case is ready. We build the file around your profile, check every document against the others, write the cover letter to match them, and hold the file complete so the first workable appointment can be taken the moment it appears. You attend biometrics; we track the file to the decision (Hungary currently states 15 calendar days standard processing at the deciding office (Embassy of Hungary, New Delhi for north India; Consulate General of Hungary, Mumbai for south & west).

Government and visa-centre fees (₹11,740 for this visa) are charged at cost; our own fee is published, and if the visa is refused that fee comes back in full.
