    Recently, Hong Kong media reported that the number of applications for the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme in Hong Kong is expected to exceed 10,000 this year, reaching a historical high. In the ten years since Hong Kong launched the "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme," as of this June, there have been 29,604 applications, of which 18,622 have been approved, bringing in 147.8 billion HKD in investment. Among all officially approved applications, 16,182 were from mainland Chinese citizens who had already obtained permanent residency in a foreign country, accounting for 87%.

    Hong Kong investment immigration is experiencing explosive growth. The primary reason is likely that this period not only marks the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's investment immigration program but also the triennial review deadline. There is speculation in the market that changes to the Hong Kong investment immigration policy are imminent, which may involve an increase in the investment threshold, changes to investment categories, or even the possibility of closing the door to investment immigration, following the example of Macau. Many investors are accelerating their applications to "board the last train" before the policy changes, drawn by the unique advantages of Hong Kong investment immigration.

    According to the latest data from the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the number of applications for investment immigration in the first half of 2013 increased by nearly 50% compared to the same period in 2012, indicating exceptionally high demand. As noted by Worldway immigration experts, the Hong Kong government launched the "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme" on October 27, 2003. Investors do not need to open or operate any business in Hong Kong; they only need to invest no less than 6.5 million HKD in specified asset classes such as real estate or financial assets to settle in Hong Kong with their entire family. However, this "price tag" rose sharply in 2010 when the Hong Kong government abruptly announced the removal of real estate from the permissible investment asset classes and raised the investment threshold from 6.5 million HKD to 10 million HKD. Compared to immigration programs in other countries and regions, the Hong Kong investment immigration program is simple, fast, secure, and transparent. Obtaining Hong Kong residency through investment has long become one of the methods used by elite mainland individuals to increase wealth and plan for their children's education.

    As the 2014 policy address by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong approaches, where new investment immigration policies are set to be announced, the number of investors consulting Worldway regarding Hong Kong investment immigration has also shown explosive growth. As the chairman unit of the Hong Kong Investment Immigration Association, Worldway has established strategic partnerships with relevant Hong Kong industry bodies and numerous well-known financial institutions, recommending capital-guaranteed and income-generating financial products offered by Hong Kong institutions. To date, we have helped thousands of mainland families obtain Hong Kong residency, maintaining a 100% success rate.
