Hong Kong has reintroduced its Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, aiming to attract global capital.


The program, relaunched in 2025, requires a minimum investment of HKD 30 million across stocks, funds, or bonds. Real estate is excluded to prevent speculation. Applicants gain residency rights and access to one of Asia’s major financial hubs.

Officials hope CIES will revitalize Hong Kong’s global competitiveness and attract high-net-worth individuals seeking an Asian base. Early data suggests strong interest from mainland Chinese, Southeast Asians, and Middle Eastern families.
