And the embassy hours are next to impossible unless you work in Budapest.
Yes. When I brought up that very point in a long phone call to the embassy, they had a solution, though. They suggested that if I were unable to come myself, I can send an "authorized representative". Because sure, I have lots of friends hanging around who don't work and have nothing better to do than go to Pest for me...
