Hungary (DNV)

• Monthly minimum (USD): $3K
• Monthly minimum (native): 3,000 EUR

6 months of bank statements + employment contract or freelance contracts

EUR 3,000/month for the 6 months preceding application. No family multiplier published — White Card explicitly DOES NOT permit family reunification.

• Becomes tax resident: If habitual residence in Hungary OR 183+ days
• Flat-rate regime: 15%
• Special regime: None specific to White Card
• Foreign income: Hungary has 15% flat PIT (one of EU's lowest). If tax-resident, worldwide income taxed at 15%. Strong DTA network protects against double taxation.

Hungary's 15% flat PIT is structurally favorable for high earners even at full residency. White Card holders can elect to remain non-resident by limiting Hungary stays <183 days/yr.

• Must work for foreign employer: Yes
• Local clients allowed: No
• Local employment allowed: No
• Self-employed accepted: Yes
• Salaried vs freelance: both

• Spouse: No
• Children under 18: No
• Dependent adult children: No
• Parents dependent: No

White Card EXPLICITLY DOES NOT allow family reunification — major drawback. Family members must apply separately under other categories (which limits options for spouses without independent eligibility).
