What is Golden Visa?​

Hungary's Golden Visa Program offers a unique opportunity for non-EU investors to obtain long-term residency in Hungary through strategic investments. This program not only facilitates access to the European Union but also provides a pathway to potential business growth and enhanced mobility within the Schengen Area.​

  2. Educational Donation: A charitable contribution of €1 million to a Hungarian higher education institution, supporting educational and research initiatives.

Key Benefits:

  • Extended Residency: Obtain a 10-year residence permit, renewable for an additional 10 years, providing long-term stability.

  • Family Inclusion: Extend residency rights to immediate family members, including spouses and children under 18.

  • Schengen Access: Enjoy visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, enhancing personal and business mobility.

  • No Minimum Stay Requirement: Flexibility to maintain residency without mandatory physical presence in Hungary.


Fundao.io exclusively provides information about projects published by users that - based on the information provided and current Hungarian legislation - may legally have the potential to raise the possibility of participation in the so-called "Golden Visa" program available to individual investors in Hungary, which grants residence rights.

The "Golden Visa Potential" badge appearing on the platform merely indicates that the given project - based on the content and references provided by the user concerned - may fall within the range of possibilities, but it cannot be determined with any certainty that it is compatible with the current Hungarian regulatory environment. However, this designation does not provide any legal guarantee that the given project actually complies with the relevant legislation, or that the investment will receive positive evaluation from the Hungarian authorities.

Fundao.io does not provide - either explicitly or implicitly - legal, financial, tax or immigration advice, and does not assume responsibility for assessing the legal or regulatory compliance of individual projects. Users and investors are solely responsible for evaluating the legal and practical feasibility of each opportunity at their own risk and exclusively with the involvement of their own legal, financial and/or tax advisors.

In light of the above, the "Golden Visa" designation does not constitute an official or legal qualification, but merely refers to a theoretical possibility that requires further individual examination and professional evaluation with the involvement of appropriate experts.
