Additional details

It is recommended to keep copies of your passport’s biographic information page and the page containing your Hungarian entry stamp separately from your passport just in case it gets lost.
Depending on when and where you lose your passport, the process to replace it can be time-consuming. It’s best to start the process as soon as you realize your passport is missing.
Remember to alert your airline or travel company about your situation. They may need to modify your return ticket or know about your situation for other reasons.
