Can family accompany? How long is the status granted and can it be renewed?
The White Card lasts at most one year and can be extended only once, for up to another year for the same purpose. The extension must be filed in Hungary through Enter Hungary while the card remains valid, after at least 90 days of residence with it in any 180-day period, between 90 and 30 days before expiry. A holder or applicant generally cannot sponsor a family-reunification residence permit. The stated exception is a third-country national child born in Hungary to a White Card holder during the card’s validity, who receives family-reunification residence after birth notification. The OIF says a White Card holder may not receive a national residence card; it also says no other-purpose permit can be applied for during the White Card’s validity or after its expiry. These restrictions do not establish an independent right for a family member to accompany under another basis.

Limits of the record- The OIF page gives the specific birth-in-Hungary family exception. It does not establish any other independent family member route or permission to accompany under this White Card.
