C-type Schengen Visa for the purpose of Business or Work in Hungary for a third-country national Family Member of an EEA Citizen



C-type Schengen Visa for a Family Member of an EEA Citizen (Employee's obligation)

A C-type Schengen visa might have to be obtained for your Student before he enters Hungary, depending on his citizenship. Annex 1 of "Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 of the European Parliament and of the Council" lists those countries whose citizens are required to obtain C-type Schengen visa before entering the Schengen area (including Hungary) for not more than 90 days. If your Employee is a family member of an EEA Citizen and this EEA Citizen is travelling and/or staying together in Hungary with your third-country national Employee, your third-country national Employee has the right of the free movement and stay within the Schengen area. In spite of this right, if your third-country national Employee has visa-required citizenship only, generally he/she needs to obtain a C-type Schengen visa before entering Hungary.

Annex II of this Regulation enlists those countries whose citizens are exempt from C-type Schengen visa obtainment and able to enter and stay in the territory of Schengen (including Hungary) for a period not more than 90 days. In case of regular in and out of travel of the Schengen area, the number of days spent in Hungary has to be added up and the mentioned 90-day stay limit has to be understood as the sum of these Hungarian days within any 180-day period.

    Work Permit

    An Employer intending to employ a Third-country National, who is a family member of an EEA Citizen for 90 day or less, do not need to obtain a work permit, because this Third-country National (based on his/her family relationship) has the right of free movement and stay (i.e. his/her Hungarian work is not a subject to working authorisation). To prove the right for free movement and stay (i.e. the exemption from the working authorisation), it is recommended for the Employer to keep a copy of the document that proves the family relationship between its third-country national Employee and the given EEA Citizen.

    Notifications (Employer's obligation)

    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.

    We help the Hungarian Employer clarify the types of notifications have to be made and also assist in fulfilling those notifications according to the description below.
