Hong Kong Investment Immigration
New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES)
What is the CIES?
CIES is an investment immigration program launched by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It aims to allow some investors who transfer funds to Hong Kong but will not operate any business to immigrate to Hong Kong. Investors can invest their funds in certain permissible investment assets without running any business. Investors and their family members (i.e. spouses and unmarried children under the age of 18) can apply to become Hong Kong permanent residents if they meet the investment management requirements and have resided in Hong Kong for seven consecutive years.
