Guest Investor Residence Permit

Relaunched in 2024, Hungary's investor route grants a long-term (up to 10 years, renewable) residence permit to non-EU nationals who make a qualifying investment in the national economic interest. The remaining options are units in an approved real-estate fund or a donation to a Hungarian higher-education institution; the earlier direct property-purchase option was withdrawn from 2025.
