Documents you need

Hungary is part of the Schengen Area, so Romanian citizens only need a valid ID card (or passport). EU citizens travel with their ID card or passport as well; travellers from outside the EU should check visa requirements for the Schengen Area. Checks at the Bors border crossing can add 15-30 minutes during busy hours.
