After a nine-year suspension, the Hong Kong investment immigration policy has been relaunched and has been open for applications since March 1st of this year, attracting significant attention from investors. However, rumors have recently circulated suggesting that the new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme only requires an investment of a few million Hong Kong dollars to immigrate to Hong Kong. This is completely false information that does not align with the facts. Please do not trust such baseless rumors to avoid being misled by incorrect information.


According to the regulations of the new Hong Kong Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, investors are required to invest at least HKD 30 million in approved investment assets. Requirements for investment assets:


◆ Invest at least HKD 27 million in permissible financial assets such as stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (capped at HKD 3 million), subordinated debt, eligible collective investment schemes, limited partnership funds, and non-residential real estate (capped at HKD 10 million).


◆ Invest HKD 3 million into the new "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme Portfolio".



Avoid the Pitfalls! Does Hong Kong Investment Immigration Only Require a Few Million HKD?





The following are the relevant requirements and regulations:


◆ The scheme does not offer an option for investing less than HKD 30 million.


◆ After completing the committed investment within the prescribed investment period, the applicant must apply to the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme Office to verify compliance with the investment requirements.


◆ Applicants must engage a practicing accountant as defined by the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council Ordinance (Cap. 588 of the Laws of Hong Kong) to issue a document confirming compliance to assist in proving that the investment requirements have been met.


◆ Applicants must submit relevant supporting documents for the permissible investment assets, including proof of purchase, bank statements, bank reference letters, and letters regarding relevant banking services, to prove compliance with the investment requirements.


◆ According to the laws of Hong Kong, any person who knowingly and willfully makes a false declaration or provides information known to be false or not believed to be true commits an offense, and the resulting investment compliance review result issued to that person shall be void.


◆ Regardless of whether there are genuine commercial reasons, applicants shall not, either by themselves or in collusion with others (including their financial intermediaries), enter into, assist in, or permit any transaction, agreement, or arrangement, whether legally binding or not, that directly or indirectly violates or circumvents any provisions of the "Scheme Rules".


It can be said that Hong Kong investment immigration is not merely a matter of capital. Even with sufficient funds, applicants still need to carry out a series of preparatory work, including organizing application materials and planning investment allocation strategies. Given that the HKD 30 million investment amount is not a small sum, seeking professional immigration investment advice is essential to ensure that the investment is secure and that the desired results are achieved.
