Hungary
Hungary has full freedom of panorama for outdoor works, but since 2014 you generally need consent even to take a photo of an identifiable person.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Site owner for managed and interior shoots; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial productions and managed sites need agreements
Genuinely personal public photography needs no permit, but the person-consent rule below makes identifiable-subject street work risky.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EU rules via the transport authority; Hungary registers both the operator and the aircraft
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
No by default for identifiable people: the Civil Code requires consent to both make and use a person's likeness
Consent is not needed for a crowd or a public event. Candid portraits of individuals are exposed without it.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Copyright Act Section 68(1): works of fine art, architecture, or applied art permanently outdoors in public may be used without authorization, including commercially. Excludes 2D works like photos and maps.
Practical notes
- The 2014 consent-to-take rule makes street portraits risky; rely on the crowd or public-event exception or get consent.
- Panorama freedom excludes 2D works, so a mural or sign may not qualify even when a statue or facade does.
