Re-entering EU via a country other than your Resident Permit Country

I have a Hungarian Resident Permit. I'm planning to re-enter the EU (from Asia) via Italy, since the ticket is cheaper than flying to Budapest. I will spend a few days in Rome and then fly to Budapest.

Is this possible? does anyone have any experience entering the EU from outside of it via a country other than your resident permit issued country?

schengen eu

Best Answer

There is a difference between the EU and the Schengen area. Both Hungary and Italy are Schengen members.

With a residence permit from one Schengen member you can enter the other Schengen states as if you had a short-stay visa, that is you can stay up to 90 out of 180 days, you cannot work there, etc.
