The Guest Investor Programme opened to applicants in 2024 and has settled into its main routes for 2026. The headline option is a subscription of at least 250,000 euro into a real estate fund registered with the Hungarian regulator, alongside a larger donation route.
Investors should note that the qualifying assets have been defined around regulated funds and a donation rather than a direct home purchase. Confirm the current list of accepted routes with the official authority.
The reported routes are a 250,000 euro subscription into an approved real estate fund, where at least 40 percent of the fund net asset value sits in Hungarian residential property, or a 1,000,000 euro donation to a designated public trust or higher education institution.
The residence permit is reported to be issued for up to ten years and to be renewable, with the investment expected to be completed within a set window after entry and held for a minimum period. Verify every figure with the official authority.
Watch for changes to the approved fund list, the residential holding requirement inside qualifying funds and any wider European Union scrutiny of investment migration. Rules and figures can move, so confirm the current position with the official authority before acting.
