Dear Visitor,
allow me to introduce myself: I am Dr. Tibor Simon, a Hungarian attorney with a law office in Budapest for 20 years, offering my expertise and services in obtaining Hungarian investment residence permits.
In recent years, Hungary has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors, who have access to various types of investment residence permits. Obtaining a residence permit is a significant opportunity for non-EU citizens to enter, reside, and potentially settle in the EU.

For this special type of residence permit, here is a brief overview:
Hungary will relaunch its „Golden Visa” program in 2024, offering a 10-year residence permit to non-EU/EEA investors through three main investment options:
1. Real Estate Investment Fund: Minimum investment of €250,000.
2. Real Estate Purchase: Minimum investment of €500,000, available from January 1, 2025.
3. Charitable Donation: €1,000,000 to a public trust supporting Hungarian universities and colleges.
The main benefits of the residence permit in all three cases are as follows:
– No minimum stay requirement: Investors are not required to spend a specific amount of time in Hungary to maintain their residence permit.
– Inclusion of family members: The visa covers the investor’s spouse and children under 18.
– Pathway to citizenship: After three years of legal residence, a permanent residence permit can be obtained, and after eight years, eligibility for citizenship.
– Access to EU benefits: Healthcare, education, and labor market, as well as visa-free travel within the Schengen Area.
– No language test: Applicants are not required to prove knowledge of the Hungarian language.
Application Process:
1. Preliminary Due Diligence: To determine eligibility, conducted by Hungarian authorities.
2. Document Preparation and Guest Investor Visa Application: 2-4 weeks.
3. Guest Investor Visa Approval: Usually within two months.
4. Investment Fulfillment: To be completed within 93 days of entry.
5. Residence Permit Approval: Issued within 2-3 days post-investment.
6. Biometric Data Submission and Residence Permit Issuance: Within three to four weeks.
This simplified process ensures a relatively quick and efficient transition for investors and their families.
Comparative Advantages:
The Hungarian Golden Visa offers several advantages compared to similar programs in other countries:
– Lower minimum investment: Compared to Spain (€500,000) and Cyprus (€300,000), Hungary’s minimum investment is relatively low.
– Longer validity period: The residence permit is valid for 10 years, longer than many other countries’ permits.
– No stay requirement: Unlike some programs, there is no requirement for the investor to reside in Hungary.
Regarding safety and living costs, Hungary is among the world’s 20 safest countries, and living costs are low compared to other EU countries.
