Hungarian citizenship and spousal status

9 years ago

I had just recently submitted my application for verification of citizenship. As per law, I am a Hungarian citizen by blood as my mother was one at the time of my birth. I also applied for my daughter and we are expecting another child, will probably apply for him/her later on. My question is: how do things work with my spouse regarding Hungarian social programs? For example, if we move to Hungary for work or retire later on, does the law allow my wife to be on the country's healthcare system, or must we purchase health insurance for her? Does she get a fast track toward citizenship and an EU passport if she wishes to apply?
