First Steps Towards Residency: Applying for the Category D Visa
Investors begin their Hungarian Golden Visa journey by obtaining a temporary Category D visa. This visa allows them to initiate and complete the Golden Visa application process within Hungary. During this stage, the Hungarian authorities conduct thorough due diligence and background checks.
Conveniently Apply from Anywhere:
The entire application process for the Category D visa can be completed remotely through the nearest Hungarian consulate or embassy. This eliminates the need for travel during the initial stages.
Receiving Your Residency Visa:
After successful visa approval, a visit to Budapest is required. This final step involves submitting biometric data and receiving your official residency card in person.
