Getting out of quarantine

If you enter Hungary, and are required to go into the mandatory 10-day quarantine, you have the option to be released earlier. You can get your first negative PCR test in your country of departure if it is a Schengen-country, the USA or Canada. Results must be in English or in Hungarian. Your second test must be carried out in Hungary, and the two tests must be within 5 days of each other. You first need to book an appointment for your PCR test, then you must submit a request to be released from quarantine for the time of testing. The process to do that is as follows:

Go to www.police.hu

Once submitted, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation of the fact that you are authorized to leave quarantine for the time of testing.

Once you have two negative PCR tests within 5 days of each other, you need to request cancellation of your quarantine. The process to do that is as follows:

Go to www.police.hu

Once submitted, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation of the fact that you will be removed from the quarantine database within 24 hours. You are then authorized to leave your place of quarantine once those 24 hours pass.
