About Hong Kongنبذة
The New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (New CIES), launched on 1 March 2024, grants Hong Kong residence to investors who place HK$30 million: at least HK$27 million in permissible investment assets (listed equities, debt securities, eligible funds and, within caps, real estate) plus HK$3 million into the CIES Investment Portfolio. On formal approval you receive permission to stay for up to 24 months, extendable in periods of up to three years, with permanent residency after seven years of continuous ordinary residence. Hong Kong, a leading Asian financial hub, offers world-class healthcare and education, low taxes, and excellent global connectivity, making it ideal for high-net-worth families and entrepreneurs.
