Hungary Golden Visa Program
 

Launched in 2013, the Hungary Golden Visa Program attracts several foreign investors and claims to be the most in-demand Residency by Investment Program. The program reported a contribution of €1.4 billion to Hungary from January 2013 to March 2017.

The Hungary Golden Visa program is successful because it offers real estate investment. This option has recently been eliminated in countries like Spain and Portugal.

Under the new change, investors from certain parts of the country are required to invest a minimum of €800,000 to be eligible for the Residency by Investment option in Greece. The country is now allowing a five-year residence permit for foreign investors to invest a minimum of €250,000 in Greek start-ups.

Italy Golden Visa Program
