Hungary is a country in Europe, and part of the European Union and Schengen Area. The country is a popular tourist destination for Europeans thanks to low costs and a range of attractions.
Among its visitors and residents, Hungary is perhaps the most well-known for its natural thermal lakes and bathhouses. Investors for the Hungary Golden Visa will benefit from a real estate holding with good returns and a high quality of life.
The government introduced the new Golden Visa in Hungary in July 2024 for non-EU and non-EEA citizens and residents. Investors receive the residence permit for a duration of 10 years which can be renewed as long as the property investment remains in place.
