In the ever-evolving landscape of remote work, Hungary has been making waves with its Digital Nomad Visa (DTV visa). First launched in 2022, this visa was initially the cheapest in Europe, offering a unique opportunity for digital nomads to reside in Hungary.

For those seeking assistance with their application, Nomads Embassy provides a Done-for-You Digital Nomad Visa Service. This service connects applicants with local immigration lawyers, offering one-on-one assistance and a secure platform to organise documents for review.

To be eligible for the Hungary digital nomad visa, income must be earned by working remotely as an employee, business owner, or freelancer for entities established outside of Hungary. To prove income eligibility, applicants must submit bank statements from the last six months and a certificate evidencing regular income.

It's important to note that digital nomad visas, including Hungary's, are set at the discretion of the government. Over time, income requirements may increase to ensure a comfortable life for remote workers without relying on social and government resources.

In 2024, Hungary introduced an increase in the minimum income requirement for the DTV visa, targeting digital nomads and freelancers seeking residence under this program. The new minimum income requirement is now €3,000 net per month. However, applications submitted before the minimum income increase will still be considered with the previous required income of €2,000.

Some digital nomad visas, such as Spain and Portugal, are tied to the national minimum wage. In contrast, the income amounts for Hungary's digital nomad visa are determined by the government to provide a fulfilled and comfortable life for remote workers and their family members while contributing to the local economy.

For those considering a move to Hungary but unsure of their eligibility, Nomads Embassy offers a free digital nomad visa eligibility assessment to help determine potential relocation destinations. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and now, a welcoming digital nomad visa programme, Hungary is an exciting option for remote workers.
