Hungarian Golden Visa Program benefits
01
10 +10 years validity period
Immediately valid for 10 years, renewable 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 (who will retain their Golden Visa for the full 10 years), as well as 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.
10
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.
11
Preliminary decision by authorities BEFORE investment
The government decides first, and only then you invest. In other countries, the principle is different: first you pay, and then you hope.
