🇭🇺 Hungary

Family Reunification Visa

Hungary's family reunification visa allows family members of legal residents to join them. Eligible relatives include spouses, minor children (including adopted/fostered), and minor children of spouse with custody. The sponsor must hold a valid residence permit, immigration permit, or permanent residence. Processing takes up to 70 days. Residence permit valid for 3 years, renewable. Note: 2024 immigration law changes restrict family reunification for certain permit types (guest worker, seasonal, investment permits under 1 year). Family members do not automatically receive work rights but can apply for work permits once in Hungary.
