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 Researcher 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 Researcher, your third-country national Researcher has the right of the free movement and stay within the Schengen area.
