Information about the VISA system ( law 2016. évi CLVI.)

 A new condition for using accommodation services is that the user must present a document suitable for establishing personal identity to the accommodation provider, so that the data on the identity card may be recorded in the VIZA system. According to the law, if the documents are not presented, the accommodation provider shall refuse to provide the accommodation service. Accommodation providers will be obliged to forward data to the VIZA system starting from 1 September 2021.

According to Section 9/H (2) of Act CLVI of 2016 on State Functions Pertaining to the Development of Tourism Regions, the user of an accommodation service shall present the document defined under paragraph (1)(b) to the accommodation provider for the purpose of recording the data. If the document is not presented, the accommodation provider shall refuse to provide the accommodation service. The accommodation service is provided on the basis of a civil law agreement entered into between the accommodation provider and the guest. If the guest fails to present documents to the accommodation provider, the provider is required to refuse to provide the accommodation service; the accommodation provider is not given the option of acting at his own discretion. In this case, it is the guest who fails to fulfil his obligations stemming from the agreement. In this case, therefore, if the guest fails to present the required identity documents, the general rules on a breach of contract or the rules on the cancellation of a booking shall apply. The parties come to a mutual agreement on the rules pertaining to cancellation (the proportion of the price for the service to be paid by the guest) according to the rules of civil law (e.g. as part of the general terms and conditions).

The accommodation provider is required by law to scan the data on a photographic ID suitable for establishing identity when the guest arrives, using an ID scanner, then using the Property Management System, the data are recorded in the repository provided by the hosting provider specified by the Government in a decree. Section 34 (1) of Government Decree 414/2015 of 23 December on the rules for issuing identity cards and on the uniform recording of likenesses and signatures requires guests to present an identity card to the accommodation provider: “Hungarian citizens, immigrants, permanent residents, refugees and persons with protected status shall be required to hold a valid identity card, to keep it save and to present it in the cases and in the manner specified by law, when requested to do so. On expiry of the identity card, if it is withdrawn, if eligibility ends, or a new permanent identity card is issued, the identity card must be handed in to the authority authorised to receive it”.

Under operative Hungarian law, all citizens are required to have an identity document (identity card, passport or driving licence card) regardless of age, thus now including the newborn. The law makes no distinction based on age regarding the obligation to present the document, so all guests are required to present a photographic identity document upon arrival.

As the personal data obtained from the documents by mechanical means (i.e. with the ID scanner) are rated as sensitive data, the security of forwarding and storing them is of high priority. In order to ensure the required security, the VIZA system only accepts data that have been encrypted using a suitable key. A different encryption key is used for each individual’s personal data. In line with legal requirements, the operator of VIZA system is unable to decrypt the encrypted data and is therefore unable to access the data stored in it.

The accommodation provider stores the accommodation service user’s data required by law in the Property Management System until the last day of the first year following the year in which such data were obtained. These data are submitted to the VIZA system by the Property Management System in an encrypted format. The data may be only by utilised for the purpose specified by law for the retention period prescribed for the accommodation provider, after which the data will be deleted from the VIZA system.

Based on the provisions of law, the VIZA system only receives name and address data on individual accommodation providers from the National Tourism Data Supply Centre for the purpose of identification; there is no other data connection between these two systems. The police may use the VIZA system to make targeted searches in the interest of law enforcement and crime prevention, as well as maintaining public order, public safety, secure border crossing, protecting the rights, safety and property of the data subject and others, and executing warrant procedures; these searches must be made for specific data series, the police may not view the entire data content of the VIZA system. The tourism hosting provider and the key provider may not have access to the data: neither of these organisations have the authorisation or the technical resources required for viewing the data.
