My kid started a university program in Hungary in fall of 2015. There were some issues with paperwork regarding his student visa and he was issued a temporary visa so that he could finish the term and exit the EU.

When he exited his passport was NOT stamped leaving the EU or upon reentering the US. However the only entry stamp was from last August.

The issue is his student visa can only be mailed to his Hungarian address, so he's not going to have it until he returns to Hungary.

Any thoughts on the possibility of him being caught on entering the EU?

What entry points would minimize this issue?

Contact the Hungarian Embassy in Washington DC

The ONLY solution to this is to gather facts regarding border entry and governance of borders. Contacting the Hungarian Embassy will allow you to share your story and the difficulty, you can sprinkle in some tears if you think it will be effective.

You will want to find out

  • Length of time to return

  • Audit trails they require

  • Secondary methods

  • Temporary visa's

If that doesn't work, you can call any European Embassy to gather more information and see if there is some assistance you can get from them. Hungary needs USD and my suspicion is that you will get assistance and this will be a matter for the dust bin poste haste.

Do it correctly. Reduce Risk.
