Hungary Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?
Check whether your income or savings meet Hungary's requirements for White Card (digital nomads) for your whole family.
How it works
Using the checker
- Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
- Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
- Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.
The routes and how the amounts are worked out
- White Card (digital nomads) — Remote work for an employer or a company of yours abroad — no Hungarian employer, client or company share. At least €3,000 a month NET, earned for 6 months before entry and throughout the stay. One year, extendable once. Family members cannot join on it, and the time does not count towards permanent residence.
- Guest Investor residence (golden visa) — Residence by investment, up to 10 years. €250,000 in a registered Hungarian real-estate fund (kept 5 years), or a €1,000,000 donation to a university The planned €500,000 home-purchase option was dropped in December 2024. The government elected in April 2026 has said it will end the programme — check before relying on it.
Money is not the only requirement
Every route also asks for health insurance, a clean criminal record and documents proving the income, translated and legalised where required. A lawyer checks the whole file before you apply and helps with the residence permit after arrival.
