RESIDENCE CARD FOR THIRD-COUNTRY NATIONAL FAMILY MEMBER OF EEA NATIONAL


A residence card may be issued to a family member who is a third-country national accompanying an EEA national or joining an EEA national.

A family member of an EEA citizen may be entitled to reside in Hungary and to have this type of permit in two cases:
  • if the EEA national's purpose of residence is to pursue a gainful activity,
  • if the EEA citizen has sufficient resources for himself / herself and his / her family members for the entire duration of the stay so that their stay does not constitute an unreasonable burden on the Hungarian social security system

Family member of an EEA citizen:
  • the spouse of an EEA national;
  • a descendant of a EEA national or his / her spouse under the age of 21 or a dependent;
  • the dependent ancestor of the EEA national or his / her spouse;
  • the spouse of an EEA citizen, if he / she has established a partnership registered before a Hungarian authority or an authority of another Member State of the European Union;
