Established in 2005, HELPERS is Hungary’s leading provider of comprehensive business and personal services for international clients.
Between the cancellation of Hungary’s earlier “residency bond” program and the introduction of the new Golden Visa in late 2024, it was not possible to get residency in Hungary through direct investment. As Hungary’s top expert in business immigration, we designed a service package enabling clients to acquire property through their local company and become eligible for business residency. While many clients will find the Golden Visa easier and more straightforward, for others, acquiring and managing real estate as a business activity might still be preferable.
Uniquely in Hungary, Helpers offers expertise on the full range of business and investment residency options currently available, including the current Golden Visa. Please contact us for a free consultation.
Helpers offers all types of residency options through business or investment. Please explore the pages below or contact us for more information.
This option involves acquiring and managing property through a local business, so it is essentially a type of business immigration. If you are interested in the Golden Visa, which offers residency through direct investment into a real estate fund, please visit our Golden Visa page.
Investment: purchase of at least two apartments, ca. EUR 240,000 in total.
Company setup and one year maintenance, administration, legal and personal assistance by Helpers: EUR 20,000 including:
Exclusively through Helpers, there is now a fast and easy way for you to become an EU resident through investment in Hungarian real estate. This program is similar to well-known programs available in Spain or Portugal – but it costs much less, and the processing time is much shorter.

Hungarian company formation is the fastest and simplest in the European Union, as it takes only 4-5 business days, and whatever nationality you are, you will need only a document of identification – mostly your passport. You have to travel to Hungary only for the company bank account opening, and you can start your activity right away. Your main activity will be property management (as the income of your company will come from renting the property you purchase), but through your company and automatically granted EU VAT number you will also be able to do other forms of business in Hungary and in the EU if you wish to.
Your business activity will mainly consist of renting the real estate you purchased. To make your business feasible, you will be required to buy property that is likely to attract reliable tenants. In Hungary (and Budapest) there are various kinds of real estate, from apartments in historical buildings to flats in block buildings. With the help of our extensive network, we will help you choose the (at least two pieces of) real estate that will make the best turnover for you.
If you are running a successful business and have steady income in Hungary, you become eligible for residency. A solid business plan will confirm the viability of your company and support your residency application. Moreover, if you are already a resident, you can bring along your family (your spouse and underage children).
Naturally, we will guide and help you through every step.
Any foreigner can buy a residential property in Hungary but buyers who are not EU nationals require a license, which we are happy to acquire for you as part of our service.
In case of selling real estate, personal income tax must be paid on the income from the sale. The domestic personal income tax rate on property sales is 15 %, but the amount of required tax depends on several factors. Over time, the tax gradually decreases, and after 5 years it becomes 0. Please contact us for details.
Once you have found a flat you like, you make a down payment and we start the application for the purchase license, which typically takes 5-6 weeks.
If you buy your property through us, we will advise you on the rental potential as well. But we are also happy to help you find the best option if you already own a place!
By employing our services from the start, you can ensure that all contracts and insurances are designed to protect your interests in case of any problems.
As operating the company and receiving a steady income is the basis of your residency, you have to maintain the company as long as you wish to maintain your Hungarian residence permit. The company must own real estate throughout its operation, but you are allowed to sell the original properties and buy different ones. You are also free to sell the properties and liquidate your company at any time if you do not wish to maintain your residency or plan to apply for it on a different basis.
