IT и цифровые кочевники
The White Card (see above) is the dedicated digital nomad route — €3,000/mo net, 1 year renewable once. No path to permanent residence from White Card. Budapest is a thriving tech hub with major companies and a growing startup scene. For long-term IT professionals, the Guest Investor Programme (€250,000) or EU Blue Card are better pathways.

Not applicable — Hungary is landlocked.
Заметки для граждан РФ
The Guest Investor Programme (Golden Visa, €250,000) is formally open to Russian nationals but faces enhanced source-of-funds scrutiny. The White Card (€3,000/mo) is also accessible. Hungarian language is one of Europe's hardest for Russian speakers. Budapest has a small but established Russian-speaking community.
Карточка страны
Hungary is an EU/Schengen/NATO member in Central Europe, with Budapest as a major tech and expat hub. It offers the Guest Investor Programme (Golden Visa) from €250,000 and the White Card digital nomad permit (€3,000/mo net). Hungary imposes the EU's lowest personal income tax (15% flat) and corporate tax (9%), making it highly tax-competitive. However, its citizenship path is the EU's longest at 11 years, and it is the only EU country designated Partly Free by Freedom House (65/100). Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language — one of Europe's hardest for outsiders. The rule of law has been under sustained EU scrutiny, with €1 billion in EU funding frozen over rule-of-law breaches.

- White Card limited to 2 years total; no path to permanent residence or citizenship
- €1 billion in EU funding frozen over rule-of-law breaches; political risk for long-term residents
- Landlocked — no coastline
