Visa free travel to the US

November 17, 2008

From November 17, citizens of Hungary and six other countries will not require a visa to travel to the US. The waiver will be valid for tourists and business travellers planning to spend less than 90 days in the United States. However, people seeking to take advantage of the waiver must have a new type biometric passport and be registered in advance with the US Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). People holding older type passports, issued prior to August 28, 2006, may continue to use them and may enter the United States with a visa that will be valid for the duration of the passport.

Online media becomes much more important even for diplomacy

Budapest, 11 March 2008, 5.30 p.m.

Despite being Tuesday afternoon and the fact that for many our last debate has started long before the end of their working time, around 30 young people, journalists, researchers and students interested in foreign affairs gathered in Cafe Petit Vian, a cosy downtown café.

Participants and especially members of the Budapest team were on pins and needles till the arrive of their special guest, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) of State for Public Diplomacy Colleen Graffy, since it was her personal wish to meet Babelians living in Budapest during her visit in the Hungarian capital.

Shortened version of the discussion is available on video:
