Can my family join me on a Hungarian EU Blue Card?

A key advantage of the EU Blue Card over Hungary's standard employment permit is family unity. Family members such as your spouse can apply for a residence permit for the purpose of family reunification on the basis of your status.

Each family member must meet the relevant conditions, and there are rules preventing certain overlapping permits, so individual circumstances should be checked. If keeping your family together in Hungary matters to you, the Blue Card route is generally more favourable than the basic employment permit.
