A Hungary residence permit can be obtained by investment, by registering a company, or by demonstrating a stable income from outside Hungary.
To get a Hungary residence permit by investment, a foreigner can choose one of the following options:
purchase shares in Hungarian real estate investment funds worth at least €250,000;
buy residential property in Hungary worth at least €500,000;
donate at least €1,000,000 to a university.
Founders of Hungarian companies can obtain a residence permit if their business generates an income of at least €1,500 per month. For a new company, a business plan confirms this income. The minimum share capital for a company in Hungary is €7,800.
A foreigner with an income of at least €3,000 per month from outside Hungary can get a residence permit for digital nomads. This income includes the salary of a remote worker or fees from service contracts.
