Hungary Golden Visa

Hungary’s Golden Visa is the newest, being established in 2024. However, there are a lot of details yet to be known about this Residency by Investment Program. Until these details are certain, we keep this Page limited. Here is what we know about Hungary’s Golden Visa Program:

• It is called the Guest Investor Visa. It is given for an initial 10-years, and is renewed for an extra 10-years. At the end of 20-years, it shall no longer be renewed.
• It requires a 250.000 Euros investment into a Real Estate Investment Trust’s bonds, that is registered by the Hungarian National Bank. Funds with very large AUM [Assets under Management] are exclusively-approved, which is a point-of-trust for Investors.
  • 60% of the Fund’s capital has to be used within Hungarian property. The rest can be utilized elsewhere.
  • There is only one approved REIT yet, called the Sprint Real Estate Development Fund. There are limited details, of how Sprint is planning to utilize the capital raised. Once those are available, we will renew this page – to inform our Investors.
  • The Spring Real Estate Development Fund charges 40.000 Euros in Realtor’s Fees, in addition to the 250.000 Euros. Realtor’s Fees are non-refundable. With 20.000 Euros in Professional and Application Fees – the entire Program costs 310.000 Euros for a family.
• Biggest relative advantage of Hungary’s Golden Visa Program is the ability to exit from the REIT after only five-years of investment – although the Residency remains for 20-years. Another advantage is the speed of which Golden Visas are issued – taking between 2 to 4 months, at maximum.
