No, 35% window tint is illegal in Hungary under current regulations. The Ministry of Interior’s 2023 decree mandates front-side windows must transmit ≥70% light, while rear windows may not exceed 35% darkness. Non-compliance risks fines up to 50,000 HUF and mandatory tint removal.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Hungary
- Front-side windows (driver/passenger): Must allow ≥70% light transmittance (≤30% darkness). 35% tint violates this threshold.
- Rear windows: Permitted up to 35% darkness, but only if the vehicle has side mirrors on both sides. Single-mirror vehicles face stricter limits.
- Windshield: Must remain fully transparent; any tinting is prohibited. Medical exemptions require prior approval from the National Transport Authority.
Enforcement is strict, with police using light transmission meters during roadside checks. A 2026 EU directive may harmonize rules, but Hungary’s current standards remain unchanged. Vehicles registered abroad must comply within 30 days of entry.
