Selection process and booking the tickets

Once you send in your application, we will confirm it with your organisation. We are looking for participants who are over the age of 18.

After confirmation, the organisers will decide on the available spots. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

If you get selected, you will receive the next information in the acceptance letter.

You should only book the tickets after receiving the acceptance letter!

Arriving the day before and/or leaving a day later

There is an opportunity to arrive a day before and/or leave a day after the event.

We'll book you a hotel room near AFS Hungary's office, and you have all the day to explore the city or meet with friends!

If needed, local volunteers can help you with sightseeing! We'll also send you an info booklet with place recommendations and useful information.

Costs: A hotel room with breakfast is paid for by AFS Hungary. Every other expense (for example: public transportation, lunch, dinner, entries, etc.) will have to be paid by you.

Hungary is considered a cheaper country than Western Europe, although Budapest can get pricey. A single-ride ticket is 1,2€, a daily pass is 6,2€. A meal at an inexpensive restaurant is usually at around 15€. English is generally spoken everywhere in Budapest.

If you wish to go on with this opportunity, please indicate it on your application form. We can not guarantee you this opportunity if you change your mind later.
