EU Business and Investment Rights

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the Hungary Guest Investor Programme?
The programme is open to non-EU nationals who meet the financial requirements, hold a clean legal record, and are not subject to any EU entry ban or international sanctions. There is no restriction by nationality.
Can my spouse, children, and parents all be included?
Yes. The programme includes your spouse or civil partner, your dependent children (including adult children in full-time education), and your dependent parents. Each family member receives their own Hungarian residence permit.
Is the €250,000 investment refundable?
Under the Real Estate Investment Fund route, your capital is placed into a regulated, asset-backed fund. It is an investment, not a donation. Under the Public Trust route, the €1,000,000 is a direct contribution and is not refundable.
Do I need to live in Hungary full-time?
No. The programme does not impose a minimum physical residency requirement. It is designed for internationally mobile families who require a permanent European legal base.
Is this programme fully legal and EU-recognised?
Yes, without qualification. The programme is established under Hungarian government legislation, administered through official state bodies, and fully compliant with EU immigration regulations.
What is the difference between the two investment routes?
Route A requires €250,000 deployed into a regulated, asset-backed real estate fund. Route B requires a €1,000,000 direct contribution to a designated Hungarian institution. Both produce the identical residency outcome.
I'm not ready. Is a consultation still worthwhile?
Yes. Many families we speak with are still at an early stage of research. You will leave with an accurate picture of your eligibility, both investment routes explained in full, and a realistic sense of the process — with no obligation to proceed.
