Hunting in Hungary

Welcome to our website! We are glad that you are interested in hunting in our country.

We would like to inform you about the conditions foreign citizens are required to meet to be able to hunt in Hungary.

Hunting guests from the European Union must have a valid passport or ID card to enter the country. Hunting rifles can only be carried with a valid EU gun passport. Documents are not checked at the borders any longer however the police and the customs authorities may check travellers randomly.

In order to participate in a hunting trip foreign hunters must possess the following documents before the hunt begins:

  • a signed contract with the hunting organising office
  • a firearms license in the country of citizenship
  • a hunter’s liability insurance valid in Hungary (if you don’t have one, we can take out an insurance for you)

With these documents you are able to apply for a hunting license from the Ministry of Agriculture which will be sent to the hunting area. In according to the regulations hunters can only use their own shooting weapons. During the hunt guests are under the regulations of the Hungarian hunting laws.

Hunting guests are obliged to follow the personal guide’s instructions and may only and exclusively bag games which have been identified and allowed to shoot at by the personal guide. In case of shooting a protected animal, the nature conservation value will be included in the penalty to be paid by the hunter.

In Hungary, hunters have to submit each trophy (antlers of red deer, roe deer and fallow deer; horn of mouflon ram; tusks of wild boar) to the judgement committee of the local hunting inspectorate in 30 days after bagging.

Trophies may be exported from the country only with the settled invoice. Hunters wishing to export trophies to non-EU states must also posess the following documents:

  • customs declaration
  • veterinarian certificate (signed by an official veterinarian).
