Can my partner travel to Hungary alone with an EU/EEA family member visa

I'm travelling home to Hungary and my partner can't come with me on the same day due to work, but he can after a couple of days. He has an EU/EEA family member visa so I'm wondering if he will be allowed to travel without me. We did a couple of years ago and he was let through because I was present and traveling with him.

Can this be possible please?

Best Answer

Yes. Freedom of movement rights for non-EU family of EU, EEA, or Swiss citizens apply if the family members travel together or if the non-EU family member is traveling to join the EU family member.

You and your partner should be prepared to demonstrate that you are in Hungary in case passport control officers ask for proof.
