Hungary
Why Hungary?
More expats than ever are considering Hungary as their future home. It's easy to see why, too: between the rich food culture, low cost of living, and affordable healthcare, this EU member has a lot going for it. Hungary offers several paths to residency, such as citizenship by ancestry, digital nomad visa, and a golden visa for investors. It's also home to numerous World Heritage sites, which are sure to delight explorers of all stripes. Current authoritarian politics presents a less-welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ people, especially beyond Budapest. Learning Hungarian presents a steep challenge for most, though citizens tend to speak multiple languages. Finally, low wages discourage foreigners from seeking employment in the country, opting for remote work or other options. Overall, Hungary presents a welcoming culture for many, leaving expatriates raving about their time living there.
