The Hungary Guest Investor Programme grants a long term residence permit to investors who place qualifying capital in Hungary. This page sets out how it works for Bangladeshi nationals and points you to the official source.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The Guest Investor Programme is open to third country nationals who make a qualifying investment, so Bangladeshi nationals can apply where they meet the conditions and clear the checks. There is no published Bangladesh specific exclusion.
Every applicant must prove the lawful source of the funds and pass background screening. Confirm the current document list and any health or insurance requirements with the official authority.
The main route is a placement of at least EUR 250,000 into investment certificates issued by a real estate fund that is registered and regulated by the Hungarian National Bank. A separate donation route of EUR 1,000,000 to a recognised higher education institution has also been described.
The fund must meet detailed conditions, including a minimum share of its assets in Hungarian residential real estate. A purchase of residential property directly was discussed for the programme but has been delayed, so confirm which routes are live before you act.
The permit is issued for a long term once the investment and the file are in order, and it can be renewed. Processing time depends on the route and the checks. Confirm the current service standard with the official authority.
The main cost is the qualifying investment or donation, held for the required period. Government charges and professional fees sit on top. Confirm each figure with the official authority before acting.
