Where and when do I apply to extend a Hungarian family reunification permit?

Extension applications for family reunification permits go through the Enter Hungary electronic platform rather than at a consulate. The timing window matters: you should apply no earlier than 90 days before expiry and no later than 30 days before it.

To extend, you must still hold a valid permit and must have been resident in Hungary for at least 90 days within the preceding 180 days. Missing the window or letting the permit lapse can force you to start over, so set a reminder well ahead of the expiry date and gather updated proof of income, housing and insurance in advance.
