DHS increases Hungary ESTA validity to two years

  1. Original Date Announced

    September 18, 2025

    DHS announced an increase of Hungary’s Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) validity period under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) from one year to two years. Multiple ESTA entries are now allowed, based on DHS and DOS's recent re-evaluation of Hungary's progress to meet program requirements. This announcement reverses a 2023 DHS determination to reduce the validity period to one year and limit it to a single use.
