Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: Applicant must prove comprehensive health insurance covering all healthcare services, or qualification under Hungarian social security, or ability to cover costs from proven means. No explicit minimum amount stated.
Tax notes: No special tax regime tied to the White Card; the OIF factsheet does not address taxation. Holders must not pursue gainful activity in Hungary. General Hungarian tax-residency rules (incl. the 183-day test) apply — confirm with a tax adviser.
