Hi,
my name is Barbara and I am Hungarian living in Singapore. Moved away from Hungary in 1998 and now, after living in many countries decided to move back.
I got married in 2010 in Hungary (it is not easy to marry in Hungary...) and my husband is Australian.
So our plan is to move back in the end of the year. I have tried to look into the whole residence permit questions for him and of course it is both straight forward and very confusing.
We will move back without having a job, one of the reason why we move back is that we can live cheaper in Hungary in our own place and start a company ourselves. However, I have to prove that I can 'take care' of my husband. I understand that it can be done via showing bank accounts and having a property, but it would be great to know how much money we need to have in order to be sure we get the permission. I understand that most people move to another country with a job offer, but we also need a little time to regroup after years and years of not even having holidays.
So if anybody has tried getting residence permit for a non-EU citizen and can give me some advice (do we really need to submit pictures of ourselves doing things together? do they really come and check out our home?) it would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Barbara
