Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for the Hungarian Guest Investor Program?
The program is open to non-EU/EEA nationals who can prove the source of their investment funds and have a clean criminal record.
Can this program lead to Hungarian citizenship?
Yes. After the initial 10-year residency, you can apply for naturalization following 8 years of legal status. A major advantage for global investors is the flexible physical presence rule, requiring you to spend only 50% of your time (average of 183 days per year) in Hungary to qualify for a passport, provided you pass the standard language and civics exams.
Note that while we maintain a high success rate through rigorous pre-screening, the final decision on any "Guest Investor Visa" or residency permit rests solely with the Hungarian government. Our fees are for professional services rendered and do not constitute a "purchase" of a visa.
Can I include my family members?

Yes, the program is designed for multi-generational security. You may include:

  • Spouse: Registered partner.
  • Children: Up to 5 children. They must be under the age of 30 at the time of application.
  • Parents & Grandparents: You can also include the parents and even the grandparents of the main applicant within the same residency application.
How long is the Guest Investor residency valid?
The Guest Investor permit is granted for an initial period of 10 years and can be renewed for an additional 10 years.
Is the investment refundable?
The Real Estate Fund pathway (€250,000) offers maximum exit flexibility; as the owner of the investment, you retain the right to sell or transfer your position at any time based on market conditions. While maintaining the investment is required to support your residency status, you are never locked out of your capital. In contrast, the Public Donation pathway (€1,000,000) is a non-refundable social contribution. All management fees are non-refundable.
Is there a minimum stay requirement?
No. One of the primary advantages of this program is that there is no physical residence requirement to maintain the 10-year permit.
