Budapest is one of Europe's most affordable capital cities — and the White Card offers up to 2 years of remote work residency. The Guest Investor (Golden Visa) program relaunched in 2024 for higher-net-worth applicants.

Hungary's golden visa is back as of mid-2024 after a seven-year absence. €250,000 minimum into an MNB-licensed real estate fund, a 10-year residence permit on first issuance, family inclusion that uniquely covers both sets of parents, Schengen travel from day one, and a flat 15% personal income tax — the EU's lowest single-rate jurisdiction. One of the more interesting EU golden visa options for HNW families seeking long-term EU base with broad family coverage.
A 1-year remote-work residency in one of the EU's cheapest capitals. Budapest's nomad scene is growing fast, the income bar is moderate, and EU/Schengen access comes built in.
