This third-country national Employee has the right of free movement and stay. This right is not a result of the obtainment of the Residence Card, but the fact that he/she is a family member of an EEA Citizen. Having the right of free movement and stay, you can perform studies (even in a state-funded program), being employed without working authorisation requirement or a private entrepreneur and he/she can live with many further rights that other EEA or Hungarian citizens have.

Report a change in the relationship with the EEA Citizen family member (e.g., death, divorce or break-up the registered partnership) towards the Immigration Office.

Inform the Immigration Office if the Employee's Residence Card, Address Card, ID card or Passport is stolen, lost or destroyed.

Obtain a new Residence Card, Address Card, ID card or Passport if the previous one was stolen, lost, destroyed or became invalid.

The Employee can hand over the Residence Card and Address Card to the Immigration Office when leaving the territory of Hungary with final intention.

An Employer, who employs a Third-country National having a family member of an EEA Citizen, has immigration related notification obligation towards the Immigration Office (official name: National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing) when the employment relationship ends or the employment relationship fails before it would start. In addition, the Employer has to notify the Government Office when the Third-country National's work starts or ends. From this latter obligation the Employer is exempted if the Third-country National is assigned from another EEA Country (i.e. he/she works for the Hungarian Employer on the basis of his/her employment contract with another employer seated in an EEA country) or the employment relationship between the Employer and Employee does not exist at all.
