Best for: Schengen base for nomads who want central Europe at Eastern-European prices.
Hungary's White Card is one of the cheaper Schengen DNV paths — single applicant, low income bar, but the catch is the renewal cap (one renewal, then you exit and re-apply). Budapest is the only real nomad city; everything else is short-stay tourism. Watch the political climate around foreigners and tax — the rules around White Card holders have shifted twice since launch and are still unstable.
Visa story
White Card DNV (~€2k/mo income, 1-year renewable once); Schengen.
Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
