What you get

Benefits

In early 2024, the Hungarian government reintroduced its esteemed Golden Visa program, extending an invitation to global investors for an opportunity to secure a long-term residence permit, inclusive of family members. Here is a concise overview of the benefits awaiting you.

01

10 +10 years validity period

Renewable after 10 years for further 10 years without additional investment.

02

Free movement within EU (27 Schengen countries)

The investor and their family members holding a Golden Visa are granted the privilege of visa-free travel across the European Union's 27 Schengen countries.

03

Includes direct family members

Includes children under 18 (at the time of application) and the investor's and the spouse's parents, if economically dependent.

04

No minimum stay requirement

Holding a residence permit does not require a single in-person appearance. You have the flexibility to live in Hungary entirely on your terms, with no restrictions on the length of your stay.

05

No language or educational skills required

The Golden Visa investor and their family qualify solely through the investment.

06

Free public schooling for children

Public primary and secondary schools in Hungary are free of charge.

07

No automatic tax liability in Hungary

You become subject to taxation in Hungary only if you spend more than 183 days per year in the country. The applicable double taxation treaties remain in effect.

08

Possibility of divestment after 5 years

Even if the investment is sold after five years, the residence permit remains valid for the full ten-year period.

09

No wealth, inheritance and real estate taxes

Consider enhancing your investment strategy by diversifying your portfolio beyond your home country and including opportunities in Hungary. This approach can offer stronger risk management and greater growth potential.

Right but no requirement to found companies and to work

Golden Visa holders are empowered to independently engage in revenue-generating activities or assume leadership roles in companies established with the goal of income production.
