Hungary suspends issuing visas to iranians over coronavirus fears

According to various news sources, Hungary has indeed suspended the issuance of visas to Iranian citizens due to concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 4, 2020, the Hungarian government announced that it would temporarily suspend the issuance of visas to Iranian citizens, effective immediately. This decision was taken in response to the rapid spread of the virus in Iran, which has been one of the countries most affected by the pandemic.

The suspension of visa issuance applies to all types of visas, including tourist, business, and transit visas. The Hungarian government stated that this measure is aimed at preventing the further spread of the virus and protecting the health and safety of Hungarian citizens.

It's worth noting that this decision does not affect Iranian citizens who are already in Hungary or have a valid visa. They are allowed to stay in the country and continue their activities as usual.

The suspension of visa issuance to Iranian citizens is a precautionary measure, and it's unclear at this point how long it will remain in place. The Hungarian government will likely reassess the situation and make a decision based on the evolving pandemic situation.
