Our business immigration service allows you to set up a Hungarian company in just a few days, take advantage of Hungary’s low-cost, low-tax business environment, and get EU residency based on your business activity.
Getting long-term residency in Hungary allows you and your family to live, work, do business and travel freely in Hungary and in Europe. We have helped hundreds of clients from all over the world to acquire a resident permit, work permit, or new passport. Whether you wish to live in Hungary, or just want more freedom and security, we’re here to help.
Established in 2005, HELPERS is Hungary’s leading provider of comprehensive business and personal services for international clients. We work with our clients in several languages including major European languages, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Persian, and Turkish.
Hungary offers temporary and permanent residence permits to business owners who take an active role in their company as directors. To start the business immigration procedure, we need to set up a Hungarian company, prepare a business plan, and ensure that all requirements for the company’s successful operation are met. Once the director has his/her permit, the spouse and children can also apply for family unification. This program is available to all nationalities.
There are currently several resident permit options available to business owners in Hungary, depending on their line of business, qualifications, nationality and other factors. If you would like to read up on the differences between the regular business permit (currently known as the ‘guest self-employed’ permit), the Hungarian Card and the National Card, please click here for an informative blog post, or contact us to schedule a consultation so we can discuss the most fitting option for you and your family.
In order to be eligible for this program, you need to start and operate a Hungarian company. This is quite easy, because Hungary offers a favorable business environment, with a low corporate tax (9%), cheap and convenient company formation, a central location in Europe and within the Schengen zone, and low living and operating costs. If you wish to start a business in Hungary or move some of your existing business activity to Europe, we can assist you in writing a business plan that will satisfy the residency requirements and also help you realize your business goals.
To start this procedure, you will have to travel to Hungary at least briefly, to open a bank account for your new Hungarian company. If you already hold a Schengen visa, you can use that to enter Hungary – alternatively, we can help you acquire a short-term business visa for this purpose.
By acquiring residency in Hungary through business ownership, you and your family will be able to travel freely to and within the Schengen zone, and take advantage of Hungary’s low living costs, favorable business environment and central location. Schedule a meeting with one of our business and immigration experts to discuss these benefits and the best procedure for you and your family!

Hungary is part of Europe’s Schengen zone, providing easy and document-free access to numerous European nations. The cost of living in Hungary is much lower than is true in most of Europe, and a business-friendly economic climate has led to a boom, especially in the nation’s major cities. Clean and efficient, modern Hungary is an excellent place to start a business and raise a family.
The invitation letter is part of the package if you order our services. Since it must describe the business relationship between you and Helpers, we can only provide it as an item of a full service, and we cannot provide it individually.
One director per company can get residency without a work permit if he/she has an active role in the running of the company and has the required qualifications/experience. The other directors will need a work permit to become employed with the company OR the company must have at least five Hungarian employees per additional director. Getting a work permit for the additional director is not a problem if he or she has some relevant qualifications to provide value for the company, and the work permit is a similar type of resident permit to a business permit. Please rely on the expertise of our consultants to figure out the best structure for your team and also for your families.
Until the launch of the real estate option for Hungary’s new golden visa program in 2025, owning property in itself does not qualify you for residency in Hungary. If you opt for business immigration, in the application process we have to show that you have some regular business activity in Hungary. If you wish to invest in property and get residency, the best option is to set up a company for property management and buy the property through this company. Alternatively, please have a look at the golden visa program and see if either of the available options are suitable for you.
No; it is understood that you are a businessperson and may need to travel a lot, especially if you have businesses elsewhere. However, bear in mind that the company’s activities or the proposals made in the business plan may require you to visit Hungary frequently or to spend significant amounts of time here. In line with this, most types of Hungarian residency involve a minimum stay requirement. Please discuss this with us in order to avoid jeopardizing your chances of renewal.
Having a physical office enables you to meet clients and represent your business even while you’re starting up. Our flexible solutions range from a single workstation to well-equipped meeting rooms, so you pay for only what you use.
Having a physical office will also contribute to the Hungarian bank account opening procedure, since it proves to the bank that you are committed to operating a viable company in the local market.
