EU Golden Visa with the lowest taxes: Hungary

The Hungarian Guest Investor Visa is one of the most affordable European residency-by-investment programs, and the EU Member State offers the lowest available taxes in the European Union for companies, as well as one of the lowest rates for investors. 

How does the "Hungary Guest Investor Visa" work? 

The Hungarian Guest Investor or Hungarian Golden Visa Program is a residency by investment scheme for citizens of third countries. It means that applicants from outside the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) may be eligible for residency permits. Successful investors are granted residency permits for ten years, which are renewable after the initial term.

There are two investment options:

  • Investment of 250,000 USD in a real estate fund registered by the MNB (Hungarian National Bank) 
  • Donation of at least one million euros to a higher education institution.


What are the benefits of Hungarian tax residency in the EU? 

Many applicants for EU residency permits must realise that the state burdens in Europe are very high and the authorities always collect taxes very strictly.

Hungary's tax system offers several strategic advantages for the applicants of the Hungarian Guest Investor Visa: 

Hungary has the lowest company tax rate in Europe, at 9%. That's why it's an ideal location for setting up firms, such as holding companies, service firms, or other investment vehicles.

  • The personal income tax is only a flat 15%. Only Bulgaria and Romania have lower personal income taxes in the European Union.
  • Generous family allowances. Mothers of four or more children and young people up to 25 years old are exempt from personal income tax.
  • Tax residency rules in Hungary are flexible.
