Has any Hungarian applied for a DTV visa here?

If yes, how did they fill out the first name and last name in the application?

I have read that they easily reject applications if you miss the middle name, so I guess this part is very strict.

FYI, in Hungary, we say the family name first and then the last name, similar to China.

Answer summary

Hungarian applicants for the DTV visa should fill out their first and last names on the application exactly as they appear in their passport. It's important to note that the family name comes first in Hungary, similar to Chinese naming conventions, but the application should adhere to the standard format used in English: first name followed by surname. Caution is advised to check the automatic data entry by OCR scanners on the application form, as inaccuracies can lead to rejections. The experience of applicants indicates that processing times can be lengthy, especially at the Budapest Embassy.

The uploaded photo of the data page of your passport will be read by an OCR scanner and propagate the application form. Inspect it very carefully and edit any data that is either missing, misread to match the data on your passport exactly.

Hi, I applied at the Budapest Embassy, just write it the same way as it is in your passport and you'll be fine. However be prepared to wait for a long time for the approval if you also apply at Budapest Embassy. I applied on December 10. My visa was approved at the end of February. The staff at the embassy said it's normal that approvals take such a long time. I hope yours get approved faster or if you want to make sure maybe it's better to choose another Embassy, there are lots of good tips in this group about where to go. We will get my wife's spousal DTV visa in Indonesia because we can't afford to wait in Budapest another 2-3 months for her approval too.
