Hungary’s Guest Investor Program offers non-EU nationals a pathway to European residency through qualifying investments. Launched in 2024, this programme provides a 10-year renewable residence permit with access to the Schengen Area and an eventual path to permanent residency and EU citizenship.
Hungary’s Guest Investor Program is one of Europe’s newest investment migration offerings, providing a cost-effective route to Schengen Area residency. With investment options starting from EUR 250,000 in government bonds, the programme offers a 10-year residence permit renewable indefinitely. Hungary is centrally located in Europe, a member of the EU and Schengen Area, and offers a low cost of living compared to Western European countries. The programme includes family reunification, access to Hungarian healthcare and education, and a pathway to permanent residency after 3 years and citizenship after 8 years of continuous residence.
The Hungary Guest Investor Program is open to non-EU/EEA nationals who make a qualifying investment. Applicants must demonstrate clean criminal records and legitimate source of funds.
Hungary offers three investment routes under the Guest Investor Program. The government bond option is the most popular, requiring a 5-year holding period with the invested capital returned at maturity.
Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe and a member of the European Union since 2004. Known for its rich cultural heritage, thermal baths, and vibrant capital Budapest, Hungary offers an exceptional quality of life at a fraction of Western European costs. The country has a highly skilled workforce, growing technology sector, and strategic location as a gateway between Eastern and Western Europe. Hungary is a member of the Schengen Area, NATO, and the OECD, providing a stable political and economic environment for investors and residents.
