I have given this talk around town for the last couple of years now and so pleased to finally add it to our coverage of the Hong Kong investment visa, specifically discussing the Hong Kong investment visa for Mainland Chinese applicants.

PRACTICE UPDATE: How to read in light of current ImmD policy:

• Historical Editorial Standard: This lecture addresses PRC passport holders and focuses almost exclusively on the preliminary statutory filter: proving permanent resident status overseas or at least one year of continuous legal residence abroad before applying under the General Employment Policy (GEP). Once that hurdle is cleared, the session suggests that standard qualitative business planning and cross-border commercial links suffice to satisfy the entrepreneur test.

• Comparative Reading Under the Upgraded Regime: Meeting the third-country overseas residence test now represents merely the procedural entry ticket; it offers zero leniency against ImmD’s domestic economic substance audit. Case officers actively reject entities functioning as cross-border, brass-plate invoicing conduits between the Mainland and overseas markets. The business must prove deep domestic integration inside Hong Kong by having deployed HKD 1.5M to HKD 2.0M in unencumbered liquidity into a functional local corporate bank account, executing an exclusive commercial lease (“four walls”), and placing 2 to 3 local permanent residents on active, MPF-compliant payroll prior to final approval.

The talk was graciously hosted at WYND Co-working Space, ran by a group of great people who I have a lot of time for.
