Frequently Asked Questions
The investment is typically structured through an approved real estate fund with a defined holding period. Investors should expect limited liquidity during the investment term, meaning early exit may not be straightforward. Exit options depend on the fund structure, secondary market availability, and redemption rules.
Yes, in most cases applicants are required to attend a biometric appointment in Hungary or at a designated consulate. However, much of the process — including preparation, due diligence, and investment structuring — can be handled remotely.
The investment must generally be maintained in line with programme requirements. Selling or exiting the investment prematurely may affect your residence status. Timing and conditions depend on the specific investment structure and legal framework.
No. Hungarian residency allows you to live in Hungary and travel within the Schengen Area for short stays. It does not grant the right to live or work in other EU countries without additional permits.
The residency itself does not automatically create tax residency. However, if you spend significant time in Hungary or establish economic ties, you may become tax resident under Hungarian tax rules. Tax planning should be reviewed case by case.
