How long is the Guest Investor residence permit valid and can it be extended?

The Guest Investor permit is designed for stability, with an initial validity of up to ten years. That is considerably longer than most Hungarian work or family permits.

It can be extended for up to another ten years for the same investment purpose. For the fund-share route, extension requires that you still hold the qualifying investment; for the donation route, no further investment is needed to extend. Maintaining clean status and reporting changes on time keeps your renewal straightforward.
