Located in the heart of Central Europe, Hungary offers a gateway to the European Union with an attractive, efficient, and affordable residency program. Known for its architectural charm, historic cities, and high standard of living, Hungary combines traditional culture with modern business opportunities.

The Hungary Permanent Residency Program is one of the fastest and most accessible EU residency options, allowing applicants to obtain full residency status within just one month. After maintaining residency for five years, investors become eligible to apply for Hungarian citizenship — opening access to visa-free travel across the EU and beyond.
