Visas for family members of a citizen of the Union:

Family members of citizens of the European Union or of the States of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland are entitled to a preferential free-of-charge visa, provided that they are travelling with the citizen of the European Union, the EEA or Switzerland or are on the way to joining them. 

Nationals of third countries listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806require a Schengen visa for stays of up to 90 days (in any 180-day period). 

The following can obtain a visa for family members of a citizen of the Union: 

  • The spouse, provided that there has been no annulment or divorce.
  • The partner registered in a Member State of the European Union or EEA or Switzerland, provided that such registered partnership has not been legally terminated.
  • Direct descendants of the Union citizen or of their spouse or registered partner (provided that there has been no annulment or divorce or legal termination of the registration) who are under the age of 21 and above that age if they are dependent or disabled.
  • Direct relatives in the ascending line of the Union citizen or of their spouse or registered partner (provided that there has been no annulment or divorce or legal termination of their registration) that are their dependents.
  • Family members other than the above who, in their country of origin, live with the citizen of the Union or are their dependents.
  • Exceptionally, other family members when serious health grounds or disability strictly require their personal care by the Union citizen.
  • The unregistered partner, provided that stable cohabitation for a minimum period of one year can be duly attested. When there are children in common, it will be sufficient to ascertain stable cohabitation. 

The visa for family members of a Union citizen entitles the holder to stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. It also allows transit through the territory and airports. 

Family members of Union citizens who wish to remain in Hungary beyond 90 days must, once in Spain, submit an application with the competent authorities for a residence card as Union citizen family member.
