Introduction

Hungary stands out as a highly appealing destination for individuals seeking an exceptional quality of life coupled with promising investment prospects in the heart of Europe. This central European country offers a unique blend of rich cultural heritage, modern amenities, and a favorable economic environment, making it an ideal place for both living and investing.

For investors and their families who are not citizens of the European Union or the European Economic Area, there is now an opportunity to apply for a Hungarian Guest Investor Visa with a 10-year residency, work and entrepreneurial permit in EU.

This permit grants long-term, legal residency in Hungary, opening doors to a multitude of benefits. Not only does it allow them to enjoy the vibrant lifestyle and business-friendly atmosphere of Hungary, but it also provides access to the broader Schengen Area. This means they can travel, work, establish enterprises or settle freely across 26 European countries without the need for additional visas, thereby significantly enhancing their mobility and investment opportunities within Europe.
