Hungary
Budapest is the Central European capital that budget travellers and nomads keep returning to: thermal baths, ruin bars, a grand riverfront and prices that still undercut Prague and Vienna.
Entrada y visados
Schengen rules apply (90 in 180 for most non-EU visitors). Hungary's White Card is a digital nomad residence permit for up to one year, extendable once, with a monthly income threshold around 3,000 euros.
