The Capital Investment Entrant Scheme in Hong Kong has been in place for over a decade. The Hong Kong Immigration Department launched the scheme in October 2003. In October 2010, the investment threshold was raised from HK$6.5 million to HK$10 million, and real estate investments were removed from the scheme. Recently, several Hong Kong media outlets reported that the "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme" will undergo policy changes in January 2014, with the Chief Executive expected to announce the new policy in the Policy Address. This may be accompanied by an increase in the investment threshold, changes to investment categories, or even the potential closure of the scheme!
Against this backdrop, the rush to catch the last train before the Hong Kong investment and settlement policy changes became a major feature of investment immigration at the end of 2013. Furthermore, the "Doing Business 2014 Report" jointly released by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation has further fueled interest in Hong Kong investment and settlement. The report shows that over the past year, thanks to its favorable business environment, Hong Kong has retained its second-place ranking among 189 economies globally, second only to Singapore.
The Hong Kong Capital Investment Entrant Scheme stipulates that applicants must invest at least HK$10 million in Hong Kong, which can be invested in stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, etc. After a 7-year investment period, the entire family can obtain permanent residency in Hong Kong. For applicants, successful settlement and capital security are equally important. Only in an excellent business environment can an applicant's investment be guaranteed and subsequently yield good returns. As a leading global city for business, Hong Kong is an international financial center with free capital flow. Its sound legal system and open market create a free and relaxed business environment that attracts investors from all over the world. The "Doing Business 2014 Report" has undoubtedly strengthened investors' confidence in Hong Kong's investment climate and business environment, which will further drive the boom in Hong Kong investment and settlement.
"In the last two months of 2013, the number of applications for Hong Kong investment and settlement is bound to see explosive growth." As the earliest immigration agency to promote Hong Kong immigration and settlement projects in mainland China, Worldway Immigration has not only established strategic partnerships with relevant Hong Kong industry organizations and numerous well-known financial institutions, but has also launched more than twenty detailed follow-up services spanning seven years to provide comprehensive immigration services to applicants after approval. Today, Worldway Immigration has helped thousands of mainland families successfully obtain Hong Kong residency. Those interested in investing and settling in Hong Kong are advised to consult as soon as possible to seize the final opportunity before the policy changes.
