Hungary's border fence and asylum-law tightening sharply strengthened the broader trend of migration-policy restrictiveness in Europe after 2015.

Hungarian Government Resolution 1401/2015 ordered preparation of an approximately 175-kilometre, four-metre temporary border-security fence along the Hungary-Serbia border. Law CXL of 2015 then created criminal offences for unauthorised crossing of the border barrier, damaging it and obstructing related construction work; the relevant provisions took effect on 15 September 2015. This record is limited to those documented government and legislative actions.
