Hello manos-bonitas,

Yes, We got the visa and we are presently living in Hungary.
For you my advice is "never giveup".Though for us strugle for visa was not easy we went through with lot of huddles. Just for the records, we are the first couple who got married in india and got the visa.

Just wanted to let you there is nothing called dependent visa ,that can be issued to you from the Hungarian embassy.

First you have to apply for the C type visa in intention to come and live in hungary that will be 90 day C type multiple entry visa.Within visa period you can apply for resident card from Hungary, that card is valid  for 5 years. with that card you can apply for tax and other essential cards.

If you are geting married in india then first get married and obtain the certificate  appostile it. Further i suggest  tell your wife to get it registred in hungary as well. that will take another 30 days depending on the flow of work.

If money constrain is an issue then i better suggest you ask some of educational visa consultant to know how did they manage to show the bank details .. i guess they charge some intrest on the sum of amount ...but am not sure ..they also provide some short term courses like one of 3 months and so on and by that you can come to hungary and get married that would be very easy and hassle free becos in my openion better to get married in the place where you wanna live .

Hi,

I can very well imagine what you may have gone through and applaude you for it. My fiance and me have beeen trying to figure out what formalities and documentations are required and haven't gone very far from where we started 3 months ago. Was wondering if you or anyone here could give us some advice.

My fiance is Hungarian and I am an Indian girl and we both met in the UK about 2 and half years ago. We have been living in the UK will be continuing to do so after marriage as well. The marriage is to take place in Budapest this autumn.

The formalities involved however have made us very confused with different information being given from different sources.
I think what we need are the following documents for me:
1. Valid 10-year passports.
2. Birth Certificates with full parents’ names and appostilled from the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi, since I was born in India.
3. Certificate of No Impediment to marriage
4. Certificate of Single Status
All documents require an apostille and an official Hungarian Translation.

The confusion lies with docs 3. and 4.
While document 4. (marital status) can be be obtained from the Indian Embassy, the question is which Indian Embassy -that in UK or the one in Hungary should it be obtained from.

Likewise with regards to the Cert. of No Impediment some sources say, it can be prepared by a local Notary and then be apostilled by the India Embassy In UK.
While others state that -at the Hungarian Embassy in the country of residence (in our case UK), an initial signed declaration (sworn affidavit) by both the bride and groom to be, in front of the Official, stating there is no impediment to marriage and along with an intention/notice of marriage, is required. After this they would issue a Cert. of No Impediment. (Not sure if it mentions an additional appostile by the Indian Embassy).

Some others sources state it can be provided by the Indian Embassy in Hungary. But this requires the couple to be present/staying in Hungary for a minimum of 21 days before the signed declaration. The document will then be issued 21 days later. Though the benefit of this is that the Cert is provided both in English and Hungarian and so no seperate translation is necessary, there is no chance of us staying in Hungary for that long just for that one doc.

Please can someone clarify these for us.
Many Thanks in advance


P.S. to think we haven't even started on the formalities for my EEA spouse visa (or the complications that can arise because of my name change from maiden to married one)

My advice is to get married in the UK. It's a lot less complicated than marrying here. My wife and I got married in the UK for that very reason. Don't forget religious ceremonies here mean nothing legally, only the civil ceremony is recognised. People do the "admin" part and then have another ceremony for the family etc.

Good luck!

Yupp, that's what I was thinking too: do the paperwork wherever it's the simplest, then have a wedding ceremony wherever you like!
I for one do not insist on verifying paperwork before throwing rice :-)

My fiance is Hungarian and im an Indian guy, plannin to get married around Jan/Feb 2012. We plan on doing the ceromony in both our respected countries ... However, We intend to move to UK, once we're married

Q) Am i (indian citizen) permitted to travel along with my to-be wife (EU Citizen) to UK and stay/work full time, once we're married

sos!!

GuestPoster175

In my opinion you'll need a visa... By marrying a Hungarian citizen you will no doubt receive a Szchenan Visa permitting you to live and work in all Szchenan countries, UK did not join the initiative so you will probably need a permit. My suggestion woudl be to call the UK Imigration and ask.

tjvaz

Thanks for the advice bro. really appreciate..
yes i do possess a multiple entry 3 yrs Schengen Visa, however, my question is, do i get entitled to enter UK as my Wife's Co Dependent since she belongs to EU and can freely stay/work in UK

If you get married, then under the EU treaties, more or less, your wife is considered to be equal to a British citizen. I'm not 100% sure but probably all you really need administratively is to pass the language exam (easy) plus filling in the appropriate forms. And of course, bucket loads of patience.

2 years too late, but UK is an EU country and all EU countries are indefinetly part of the Schengen Visa, no matter if they agreed or not.

Hi Rohin,

You need to apply for EU Family permit for UK. But you must go there with your wife or intending to meet your wife on your arrival to UK.

Also, your wife (EU citizen) must have be working in UK legally OR studying in UK OR should be able to show sufficient funds. One of these conditions is a must, then you can go to UK without a problem.

In my view, i think you fail to read something ........i Started this post long long time ago since then string of problem and solutions were posted by the other members in the thread...

I don't need permit nor visa.

I think The post you are referring to was not posted by me perhaps by some other member and i think it has been deleted.

The advise is, basically, to create a new topic. Not just to reply to this topic.

That is, follow the link provided:

Then click on the "Post new topic" button (it is an Orange rectangle at the top).

Hope this helps.

Well we are in the process.
Got married in India with my better half ;)

The process is obviously not very streamlined but at least we are moving forward.
Best wishes.
