As one of the world’s leading financial hubs, Hong Kong offers immense opportunities for investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals. While Hong Kong does not have a traditional Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program, its residency and business investment schemes provide a clear pathway to residency and eventual citizenship. With Forward Point Solutions, navigating the complexities of these programs becomes seamless, ensuring you maximize the benefits while meeting all legal requirements.

Why Choose Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is renowned for its business-friendly environment, world-class infrastructure, and strategic location as a gateway to Asia. The city’s strong legal framework, low tax rates, and access to global markets make it an attractive destination for investors looking to establish a foothold in the region.

Key advantages include:

• Low Tax Rates: No VAT, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. Corporate tax is capped at 16.5%, and personal tax is progressive, capped at 17%.
• Global Business Hub: A vibrant economy with access to Chinese and international markets.
• High Standard of Living: Exceptional healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
• Pathway to Citizenship: Hong Kong allows permanent residency after seven years, leading to the possibility of full citizenship.

Hong Kong Investment Residency Program

While Hong Kong doesn’t offer direct CBI, its Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) provides a viable residency option. Through Forward Point Solutions, you can navigate the requirements and benefits of this program with ease.

Requirements for the Investment Residency Program

• Minimum Investment:
  Applicants must invest HKD 10 million (approximately USD 1.28 million) in permissible investment assets, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. These funds must remain invested during the residency period.
• Proof of Funds:
  Applicants must demonstrate the legitimacy of their investment funds and provide documentation to show they have been lawfully obtained.
• No Work Restrictions:
  The program does not require applicants to establish or manage a business in Hong Kong actively.
• Clean Criminal Record:
  Applicants must provide a certificate of no criminal conviction from their home country.
• Residency Period:
  Successful applicants are granted temporary residency, renewable periodically, leading to permanent residency after seven years.
• Dependents:
  Immediate family members, including a spouse and unmarried children under 18, can be included in the application.

Advantages of Hong Kong’s Residency Program
