Following CATL, Another Chinese Enterprise Pours in €64 Million! Amidst the Hungarian Investment Boom, Is It Too Late to Immigrate Now?

A recent piece of news has caused quite a stir in circles planning for European residency: the Chinese electronics giant Intretech has announced a 25 billion HUF (approx. €64 million) investment to expand its production capacity in Hungary. The Hungarian government is concurrently providing 2.6 billion HUF in support. Once completed, the project will directly create 330 high-quality jobs.

What does this mean?

 Simply put: yet another Chinese giant is heavily backing Hungary, and the immense business and talent dividends at the crossroads of China and Europe are exploding.

When announcing this investment, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó stated bluntly: "Hungary has become the top destination for Chinese investment in Europe." This is no exaggeration. From CATL to BYD, from Huawei to Intretech, China's "national team" and leading enterprises are voting with real money for Hungary's investment value.

Following the Giants to Europe: Not for Working, but for "Strategic Leapfrogging" and Layout

In our in-depth communications with numerous high-net-worth clients and business owners, we are often asked a core question: "What are the development prospects there after obtaining a Hungarian identity?"

This news provides the most powerful answer. Intretech's expansion is not an isolated case. As Chinese enterprises cluster there, they bring not only factories but also a massive upstream and downstream supply chain and a high demand for top-tier talent.

In fact, high-net-worth individuals with keen business sense have already taken the lead.

Just at the end of last year, we assisted Mr. Z, a domestic manufacturing business owner, in successfully obtaining a Hungarian residence permit in less than 3 months. His goal was clear: with a growing number of European clients for his factory, applying for Schengen visas for every business trip—with long processing times and short permitted stays—severely restricted his business expansion. More importantly, he noticed giants like CATL and BYD setting up in Hungary, and knew "the supply chain will definitely follow the industry leaders." Seeing the dividends of Chinese enterprises' layout in Hungary, he planned to use his residency status to build a Sino-European supply chain bridge and seize new opportunities in cross-border trade.

Mr. Z's Processing Timeline:

● Sep 22, 2025: Signed contract with Globevisa

● Sep 30, 2025: Submitted visa application

● Oct 31, 2025: Completed the investment

● Nov 20, 2025: Received investment certificate and completed submission

● Dec 8, 2025: Approved and received residence cards

In January of this year, Mr. Z's spouse and three children also smoothly obtained their Hungarian residence cards. Just after the Spring Festival, the whole family landed in Hungary, and all three children enrolled in local international schools. Meanwhile, Mr. Z is leveraging Hungary's 9% corporate income tax advantage to plan the establishment of his European branch.

For Chinese families with business acumen and financial strength, this opens up opportunities with immense potential:

● An Excellent Springboard for Global Expansion: Hungary's corporate income tax is only 9%, the lowest in the entire EU! It is not only the gateway for Chinese enterprises entering Europe but also a hub connecting global markets. The clustering of Chinese giants means that surrounding supply chain support, cross-border logistics, and high-end corporate consulting and hospitality services are a blue ocean waiting to be tapped.

● "Leapfrog" Employment Advantages for Children: What do these multinational giants lack most locally? Bilingual management talent who understand Chinese culture and possess a European educational background. If your children enjoy high-quality international education in Hungary, they won't need to fight over the incredibly fierce job market back home upon graduation. Instead, they can directly become elite backbones highly sought after by these multinationals, securing a perfect international career starting point.

 

Backed by National Strength: A High-Quality Living Foundation for the Whole Family

Of course, beyond business and educational opportunities, Hungary's baseline lifestyle is exceptionally solid.

As an EU member state and a Schengen country, holding a long-term Hungarian residence permit allows for free travel across all 29 Schengen countries. More importantly, it offers an incredibly high "cost-performance ratio" for living:

● Friendly Cost of Living: Prices are 30%-40% lower than in Western European countries. A family of three can enjoy a very decent life with daily expenses of about €1,000/month.

● Top-Tier Public Services: Hungary implements a 19-year free public education system. This country of only 9 million people has astonishingly produced 15 Nobel laureates. Its medical care, social security, and other welfare systems fully maintain the standards of developed EU nations.

● Stable Social Environment: Ranking high on the Global Peace Index, it is extremely friendly to families seeking a sense of security and a relaxed lifestyle.

 

The Doors to Europe Are Closing: The €250,000 Hungarian Fund Becomes a "Scarce Ticket"

Looking across Europe, immigration policies are comprehensively tightening: Ireland has closed its program, Portugal canceled its real estate investment option, and Greece's core zone threshold has skyrocketed to €800,000... The golden era of "buying a European identity" is coming to an end.

Against this backdrop, the strongly returning €250,000 Hungarian Investment Immigration Program is undoubtedly the "scarce ticket" with the lowest threshold and highest cost-performance ratio in all of Europe right now.

The program requires a €250,000 investment into a government-approved real estate fund. Not only is the process transparent and efficient (typically approved in 3-6 months), but it also boasts core advantages that directly address the pain points of Chinese families:

● Relocate Without Uprooting (Zero Immigration Jail): Maintaining the status requires absolutely no physical presence! This is extremely friendly for entrepreneurs who have businesses in China and cannot go abroad for long periods. You can continue making money in China and simply treat Hungary as your family's "Plan B" and European pass.

● Approval First, Investment Later: Capital security is guaranteed. The government-regulated fund structure ensures extremely high transparency.

● One Application, Whole Family Included: Easily plan for high-quality international education resources and a high-level medical system for your entire family.

It is worth mentioning that in our database of successful cases, the fastest approval took less than 3 months, covering various demographics including business owners, executives, and freelancers. Whether you are applying as a single individual or for the whole family, we have mature processes, a professional team, and rich experience to escort you—this is also the core reason why an increasing number of high-net-worth clients choose us to quickly secure their European status.

 

Still Hesitating? The Window of Opportunity Won't Stay Open Forever

Every massive investment by Chinese enterprises in Hungary sends the same signal: this country is becoming a hotbed for wealth accumulation where China and Europe meet.
