HungaryFamily
Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.
Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?
The sponsor is the family member with whom the applicant applies for family reunification and who applies for a National Card. Where that family member's application is lodged by his or her employer, the family reunification application may also be lodged by that employer, if the applicant gives written consent and has not entered Hungary, or has entered Hungary visa-free, is staying legally and holds no residence permit, or holds a valid residence permit and wishes to extend it. The official source does not state further conditions on the sponsor's status.
