Hungary Golden Visa Overview
The Hungary Residency by Investment programme, also known as the Hungary Golden Visa, is an excellent opportunity to secure residency in Europe. This program offers a range of benefits that make it a compelling choice for those seeking long-term residency in a European country. The program is one of the quickest and most affordable golden visa programmes currently available in Europe. It is a unique option as it is the only EU program that allows investors to complete the investment after their residency visa application has been approved and issued.

Hungary Citizenship by Investment
The new Hungarian Golden Visa (officially termed the “Guest Investor Residence Permit”) is a long term residency permit with a validity period of ten years. The permit can be renewed ongoing for life. It is also possible to upgrade to permanent residency providing you have resided full time in Hungary for five years. The Hungarian programme is not a citizenship by investment programme. There is no direct path to citizenship in Hungary as there is in some other EU countries. If European citizenship is your end goal, then you may like to consider other programmes with a clearer pathway, such as Portugal and Malta.
Benefits of Hungary’s Golden Residency Visa
The programme offers numerous benefits to its participants.
- Quick and efficient route to residency in Europe.
- Life-long residency, renewable every ten years.
- Visa-free travel within the EU Schengen zone.
- No minimum stay requirements.
- No tax obligations for non-residents

Hungary Golden Visa Family Applications
Hungary’s Golden Visa programme enables the applicants to include their spouse and their children under the age of 18 years old. If the applicant’s children are over this age, it may still be possible to include them, providing they can prove financial dependency, are studying and unmarried. Parents can also be included in the application, if they are 65 years and over, there is no need to prove dependency. For additional dependents, extra fees will apply.
