White Card (Digital Nomad) Visa

Hungary's White Card (Fehér Kártya) is a dedicated residence permit for digital nomads and remote workers from non-EU countries. Launched in 2022, it allows location-independent professionals to live in Hungary while working remotely for foreign employers or running their own foreign-based business. Requirements include proof of €3,000 monthly income for the past 6 months and €10,000 in savings. The permit is valid for 1 year, renewable once for a maximum 2-year stay. Holders can travel visa-free throughout the Schengen Area (90 days per 180-day period). Note: time on White Card does not count toward permanent residency, and family members cannot be included.
