A Japan-based entrepreneur secured 10-year Hungarian residency for the whole family through a government fund investment
Client Profile
The applicant and their family live in Japan and were looking for long-term residency in the European Union through investment. They had a clear brief: the route should not involve a direct real estate investment, yet it should still offer the potential for capital returns.
They were also looking for a relatively low investment requirement and no minimum residency obligation, with the long-term goal of relocating to Hungary.
Our Approach
We structured the application around the Hungary Golden Visa government fund option, investing in one of the approved investment funds. This met every point of the family's brief: no direct property purchase, potential capital returns, a relatively low investment requirement and no minimum stay obligation, while covering the applicant, spouse and children in a single application.
