who knows. all it may need is mental energy or physical energy. the only time we actually see someone using with the byakugan using chakra is when they use the gentle fist or rotation

for all we know is that she maybe she had spiritual energy and could use her eye to see that the shinju's fruit had chakra so she took it. a transplanted Rinnegan and Sharingan use the persons chakra up and causes the person to have horrible chakra stamina(apart from senju and uzumaki members) but the byakugan showed no such weakness. so we really do not know if it requires chakra to have the eye lets put it this way when a sharingan and Rinnegan are deactivated a normal eye is shown but when a byakugan is deactivated it is essentially the same eye with out protruding veins
