This 2024 news item covered Hungary's then-upcoming Guest Investor Visa programme. Requirements have since changed. For current requirements, see the Hungary Golden Visa guide.
Current official guidance lists two qualifying routes: a qualifying real estate fund share from EUR 250,000 and a higher-education donation from EUR 1,000,000. The direct residential property purchase route should not be presented as active.
The residence permit application must be submitted within 30 days after legal entry. Investment proof is provided within the Guest Investor Visa validity period or, for visa-free Annex II nationals, within 6 months from first legal entry.
