Stay requirement: none
Work allowed: yes
Schengen travel: yes
Duration: 10 years, renewable +10 years
Path to citizenship: 8 years

SPECIAL UNIQUE CONDITION:
The investment can be paid through your legal entity (company), no need for personal wealth.

How does it work
All administrative procedures with the authorities will be handled by a specialized law firm, ensuring a hassle-free, fully remote process for the applicant.

First, you will apply for a Guest Investor Visa, (valid up to 6 months) which allows you to travel to Hungary if desired. Once approved, you will complete your investment in the real estate fund. You have 3 months to finalize the investment.
fter the investment comes the application for the long-term redisency permit. Authorities typically process applications within 21–30 days, followed by an additional 7 days to issue your 10-year Residence Permit card.
This allows you to travel freely in all Shengen countries, up to 90 days every 180 days.

---
After maintaining residency in Hungary for at least 183 days per year over three consecutive years, you may qualify for Permanent Residency (subject to additional conditions). This status is indefinite, however it requires renewal of the residency card every 5–10 years.
