Why Choose the Hungary Golden Visa?

Build a Long-Term Future in Hungary and Europe
Hungary offers a central European location, developed infrastructure and convenient access to other European markets. Its investor residence programme may appeal to families, entrepreneurs and international investors seeking long-term European residency.
Up to 10 Years of Residency
The residence permit may be granted for a maximum period of 10 years. This reduces the need for frequent permit renewals and gives investors greater long-term certainty.
Schengen Area Travel
A valid Hungarian residence permit supports travel within the Schengen Area for permitted short stays. This makes personal and business travel across participating European countries more convenient.
Family Reunification
Eligible family members may apply for residence under the applicable family reunification rules. This commonly includes a spouse and qualifying dependent children. Every family member must meet the relevant eligibility and documentation requirements.
Employment and Business Rights
The official guest investor residence permit allows the holder to undertake employment in Hungary. Permit holders may also conduct qualifying independent activities or act as an executive of a business organisation, subject to Hungarian law.
Investment Diversification
The approved fund route may allow investors to add European real estate exposure to their wider investment portfolio. However, investment value and returns are not guaranteed. Independent due diligence is essential.

Begin Your Citizenship Planning with Confidence

Choosing a citizenship programme is a major legal, financial and family decision. A professional assessment can help you understand your options, identify potential concerns and avoid selecting a programme that does not match your long-term objectives.
