Hong Kong Residence Program

While Hong Kong does not have a citizenship by investment program it does offer various routes to residency for talent, professionals and entrepreneurs. The core residence program in Hong Kong was suspended in 2015.

Hong Kong now offers several categories through employment and investment. A Permanent Residency Visa can be granted after 7 years of residency in Hong Kong and citizenship can be applied for after 10 years.
