A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
The application, qualifying conditions and outcome for Hungary. Choose a service to see its specific answers.
Guest investor residence: Receive the guest-investor permit after satisfying the qualifying investment or donation requirements. National Residence Card · from 3 years: A separate settlement assessment requires at least three years of actual uninterrupted legal residence, accommodation, resources, health cover and the applicable cultural-knowledge conditions. Hungarian citizenship · ordinary basis: Ordinary naturalisation requires eight years of qualifying continuous residence under the nationality rules, a clean record, means of support, accommodation and the Hungarian constitutional-knowledge examination unless exempt. A ten-year investor permit is not ten years of physical residence. The nationality residence clock must be assessed under the Citizenship Act, not simply from the investment date.
Use the guest-investor visa where required, or the eligible visa-free entry basis. Submit the residence application in Hungary within the applicable 30-day entry deadline. Prove completion of the investment during the guest-investor visa's validity, or within six months of first lawful entry for qualifying visa-exempt applicants. Attend for biometrics. Renewal requires a valid permit and a qualifying investment at application.
Eligible third-country nationals making the specified investment through a qualifying fund and manager.
Invest at least €250,000 in an eligible MNB-registered fund with a qualifying manager and at least 40% of its net assets in Hungarian residential property. Keep the units in a securities sub-account blocked for at least five years. Provide fund certification, accommodation, identity and biometric evidence.
Residence for up to ten years, with one extension of up to ten years while the applicable conditions continue, and permission to work in Hungary.
