I am about to study in Hungary this fall and going back home in June next year.
I am Indonesian and Residence permit is needed during my stay in Budapest. As I am preparing document to apply for a visa, I'd like ask for your suggestion:
- What kind of flight ticket should I buy? One-way ticket or return.
- If I buy one-way ticket, is it possible to enter from another Schengen country, and continue my journey to Budapest by land (train or bus) -- Because the ticket is cheaper.
- If I buy a return ticket, I am still having difficulty in finding a good deal, and I am thinking about having flexible ticket but I am not sure how it works on booking changes.
Best Answer
In your case, because it's already June and your stay will be shorter than a year, buying a return ticket might still (barely) be possible but note that airlines everywhere have a one-year booking horizon and/or a limit of one year between departure and return so that it's simply impossible to present a return ticket for a visa lasting one year or more.
So, while I don't know Hungary, I would be really surprised if they required you to buy a ticket in advance. This brochure from the foreign ministry does not mention any such requirement either. Usually, embassies recommend the opposite. It's only for short-stay visas that you must have very specific travel plans.
Once you have a student visa or residence permit from a Schengen country, you can enter the area through any other country and travel by train or bus if you wish.

Answer 2
(1) Return tickets are usually cheaper than singles. At worse you can throw away the return component. You will have to telephone if you want the return sector to be more than on year away from the booking date, simply because the flights are not loaded in the system yet. Most airlines will allow this though. Presumably you will want to visit your home at some stage (Christmas/birthday/holiday?) so you might want to plan for that.
(4) No matter how flexible the ticket is, the ticket validity period is one year. There is a fee to make a change on most semi-flex tickets. If space is not available in your original booking class there might be a fare difference to pay as well.
