Lossing Hungarian Residence Card

[Hamadaaa]

I'm I'm an Egyptian spouse for a Hungarian wife. I got the residence card in Hungary the 25/5/2016, then we travelled to Uk 7/9/2016 to start working and I didn't return to Hungary since entrance to uk. I have received a letter from the immigration office on my Hungarian address that I must send them a letter and profess that I'm in Hungary. they mentioned also that I can't stay abroad more than 6 month a year.
I don't wanna lose my Hungarian residence as I didnt get even a uk residence. what should I do?

Thank you

Return to Hungary before 6 months are up in March.

Yes, that's based on EU law.

Its up to you to decide where you actually reside.

I guess he is subject to the national immigration law of Hungary if the wife is from Hungary.

Wife may have invoked SS if Hungary recognise SS.

Actually I got it cuz my wife is Hungarian, but the problem that I am in uk, requesting residence here so if they refused it will be a problem. refused uk and deleted Hungarian, so may they will ask me to return to Egypt to start from the beginning

if your wife is still working in UK than you should get the UK resident card soon, UK will be out of the EU around April 2019, that is still plenty of time for u.

How does Hungary know that u left the country?

[Hamadaaa]

I hope to know how they knew, even I came by car not plane but any way the letter they sent says that no one can stay more than 6 months yearly out side Hungary except if there is illness or pregnancy, they will accept 12 months continues but once in the five years.

Hi did you find out how they knew that you were out of hungary?

i am a British citizen (i have a Hungarian wife) and as UK is leaving EU, i was thinking to apply for a Hungarian resident permit but tbh i dont know what i will do in hungary when many Hungarians are leaving their country.

Hi Hamadaa,

I am Hungarian, living in the UK and my husband is non-EU citizen. I have looked up the regulation for your residence card on the Hungarian Immigration Office`s website and I am afraid if you are not living in Hungary you have lost your residency there.
I think your best option is to apply for EEA Family Permit, since the UK is still in the EU, under EU regulation if she lives here and works here you have the right to live and work in the UK as long as your live with her. She has to prove that she is exercising her treaty rights, meaning she is working and earning, etc.
At least this is what we did when my husband came to live with me.
Considering the current Brexit situation I suggest you to be quick and very thorough with your application.

Good luck and let us know of the outcome!

Hi All,
Actually I couldn't know how they found that I'm out of Hungary, but most told me that they check people random especially who are from towns villages they are few.
Any way im already in uk thought EEA FP, and I have just applied for residence here so it will take around 6 months here.
Any way like that I will lose the Hungarian one, and once I wanna visit Europe, I will apply for 3 months multi entry visa.
Thanks too u All for help
