Business Immigration Services

Immigration to Hungary

Immigration is built upon a system of complex and difficult legal rules. It is difficult for non-experts to fully understand the law and identify the best immigration strategy to pursue. VJT & Partners’ immigration lawyers handle all aspects of business immigration cases, advising medium to high-net worth foreign individuals and multinational corporations.

Hungary’s immigration policy makes a number of immigration options available to third-country nationals seeking temporary or permanent residence in Hungary. In line with current trends, both the EU and Hungary want to attract new investors by offering them various benefits and incentives.

In an attempt to encourage foreign investment in Hungary, the Government aims to provide new benefits and has preferential immigration categories for business investors.

Hungarian Investor Residency Bond program

This is highlighted by the recently adopted new act allowing for medium and high net worth 'investor residency' in Hungary. This offers permanent residency under preferential conditions for non-EU nationals willing to buy at least €250,000 of residency bonds.

Benefits of Hungarian residency

Situated in the heart of Europe, Hungary’s location and mild climate offers its residents an active, varied and an affordable lifestyle. In addition, the post-secondary education has a reputation for its high quality, with Hungarian degrees widely accepted across the EU. Hungarian residents are allowed free-movement. Hungarian permanent residency can ultimately lead to Hungarian citizenship and can therefore provide access to work in any EU country. In addition, a Hungarian passport is actually an ‘EU passport’ allowing its holder to freely travel and relocate across the EU. The costs of acquiring immigration residence permits are relatively low in Hungary and have a large number of benefits.
