Hungary Abolishes Real Estate Option in Golden Visa Program: Implications for Investment Migration

Hungary’s recent decision to terminate the real estate investment option from its Guest Investor Program (GIP), often referred to as the Golden Visa Program, marks another significant shift in Europe’s approach to investment migration. Effective before January 1, 2025, this move highlights ongoing concerns surrounding housing market pressures and the socioeconomic impact of investment-driven real estate acquisitions.
