Hungary Residency & Investment Programs – New Residency Routes
Hungary has introduced updated residency laws that offer non-EU nationals several pathways including investment-based residency, business and self-employment options, and work permits in high-skilled areas. These programs are designed to welcome talent, capital, and entrepreneurship while maintaining strong regulatory standards.
With the Guest Investor Residency Permit, for instance, eligible applicants can gain a 10-year residence permit through approved investment options such as real estate funds, real estate purchases, or contributions to higher education and scientific institutions. Many of these routes also permit family members and include benefits like Schengen access, healthcare, and potential for long-term legal residency.
Hungary is ideal for people looking for a stable European residency while investing in innovation, business, or entrepreneurial projects. Whether you’re an investor, professional, or business owner, these programs offer transparent criteria, investment flexibility, and a path to long-term European living.
