Hungarian life is a captivating blend of modern comforts and time-honored traditions. While the country boasts prosperity, it preserves its ancient architecture, cultural practices, and rich culinary heritage, setting it apart from places like the US or UK. Across the landscape, you’ll find medieval castles, charming villages, historic churches, and museums that showcase its storied past. The picturesque countryside, with its gentle hills and soothing thermal springs, adds to Hungary’s unique appeal.
Hungarian residency qualifies as EU residency, meaning holders of the Hungary Golden Visa will be exempt from ETIAS (expected to roll out in 2025) and EES (set to launch in October 2024) requirements across the entire European Union, not just for entry into Hungary.
The Hungarian residency by investment program offers a pathway to citizenship after eight years of physical residency. However, the requirements for obtaining citizenship are entirely independent of the Golden Visa program. This means that while achieving citizenship is a viable option, it is not guaranteed for Golden Visa holders.
The Hungarian Golden Visa program does not mandate its holders to move to or reside in Hungary for any specific duration. Nonetheless, applicants must travel to Hungary during the initial stages of the process to complete the application, finalize the investment transaction, and provide biometric data.
Bella & Co is a certified agency dedicated to assisting entrepreneurs, investors, and families in securing citizenship and residency worldwide, including in Hungary.
