Before you lock in €250,000, there may be a better route. Here's why.
The Golden Visa, honestly
What the Hungary Golden Visa actually asks of you
The Hungary Golden Visa — the guest-investor residence route — is a legitimate way to gain residency by investment. It's worth understanding exactly what it asks before you commit your capital.
- It requires placing at least €250,000 into regulated real-estate fund units — a financial product, not a property you personally own.
- Your capital sits inside the fund. You don't hold, manage, improve or directly exit a specific property — the fund does.
- Higher entry capital and administrative costs, with outcomes tied to the fund's rules and performance rather than to an asset in your name.
It works. But for entrepreneurs who'd rather own a real asset — and put in less — there is now a smarter route.
The smarter route
Own the property. Earn the residence permit.
Instead of locking €250,000 into a fund you don't control, invest roughly €150,000–200,000 into a real property owned by your own Hungarian company. We handle the property and the residence-permit process from start to finish.
- —Lower entry — around €150,000–200,000, not €250,000+
- —You own a tangible asset: a real property, held by your own Hungarian company
- —We manage the property and run the documented rental business for you
- —The full residence-permit application, handled end to end
- —Built as a ~6-year structure with a planned exit — and the profit is yours
- —One accountable team, almost entirely remote
