The Government launched the new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (new “CIES”) earlier this year, in line with its ongoing efforts to revitalise Hong Kong’s economy.
By the end of June, the new CIES had already received over 3,700 enquiries and 339 applications, with 88 of those applications receiving approval-in-principle and 3 applications receiving formal approval.
This article provides a summary of the new CIES and highlight what it means for employers.
What is “CIES”?
The CIES is an investment-migration programme and was first introduced as a stimulus measure in 2003 when Hong Kong’s economy was in a recession but it was suspended in January 2015.
As part of the 2023-2024 Budget, the Government announced a series of measures, including a revamped CIES, to revitalise Hong Kong’s economy.
Under the new CIES, high-net-worth individuals can obtain residency together with their dependants, including spouses and unmarried children under 18, by making a minimum investment of HK$30 million in permissible investment assets.
Overview of the new CIES
The new CIES accepts applications from eligible persons aged 18 or above, including foreign nationals, Chinese nationals with permanent resident status in a foreign country, residents of Macau and Chinese residents of Taiwan.
Applicants must demonstrate that they have net assets of at least HK$30 million (or equivalent in foreign currencies) to which they are the absolute beneficiaries throughout the 2 years preceding the application.
Applicants must then invest at least HK$30 million in permissible investment assets. Of the HK$30 million minimum investment threshold, at least HK$27 million must be invested in permissible financial assets and non-residential real estate, and at least HK$3 million must be placed into a dedicated CIES Investment Portfolio.
Successful applicants and their dependants who have maintained continuous ordinary residence in Hong Kong of at least 7 years and meet other requirements may apply to become Hong Kong permanent residents. Applicants who are unable to fulfil the continuous ordinary residence requirement may still be eligible to apply for unconditional stay in Hong Kong after 7 years. After successfully becoming a Hong Kong permanent resident or obtaining an unconditional stay, the applicant will be free to dispose of the Permissible investment assets under the new CIES subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying investments.
The financial eligibility of applicants under the new CIES is assessed by Invest Hong Kong, while entry, visa and residence applications pursuant to the new CIES are handled by the Immigration Department.
What the new CIES means for employers
Employers should take note of the new CIES as holders of a visa issued under the new CIES have the right to work in Hong Kong and do not need to apply for a separate employment visa sponsored by the employer.
Also, since the new CIES provides another pathway for residency, this should open up a wider and more diversified pool of top-quality candidates for employers to choose from.
Employers who are looking to recruit or relocate talent from abroad to Hong Kong in very senior / high-income positions with remuneration packages that meet the financial thresholds of the new CIES may share details of the new CIES with candidates as this may increase the attractiveness of the job opportunity / relocating to Hong Kong given the potential for the individual and his/her family to obtain permanent residence in Hong Kong.
Key takeaways
The new CIES is expected to attract more top-talent to Hong Kong. This will benefit employers with their recruitment and staffing needs, giving them a larger and more diversified pool of top talent to choose from, and could also serve to incentivise and retain existing employees who may be interested in secondment opportunities or settling in Hong Kong.

Jenny li, 64, pleads not guilty and secures hk$200,000 bail, with trial set for june next year..
The former mother-in-law of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung has denied perverting the course of justice by hindering a police investigation in a 2015 theft case involving the model’s then husband.
The District Court on Thursday recorded a not-guilty plea from Jenny Li Sui-heung nearly four months after the 64-year-old secured a HK$200,000 (US$25,600) bail in relation to the case.
The court heard the defence would dispute the reliability of nine prosecution witnesses, including seven police officers, as well as the content of security footage seized from a Tai Po village house during an investigation into Choi’s murder in February last year. The defence said Li also took issue with the admissibility of certain evidence.
Chief District Judge Justin Ko King-sau listed the trial for early June next year after rejecting a defence request to postpone the case by four months to accommodate the schedule of Li’s leading counsel.
Ko noted the major contention centred on the correct interpretation of the CCTV footage, which did not involve any specialist knowledge or require a specific lawyer to handle.

HONG KONG (AP) — A Hong Kong court on Thursday convicted two former editors of a shuttered news outlet in a sedition case widely seen as a barometer for the future of media freedoms in a city once hailed as a bastion of free press in Asia.
The trial of Stand News former editor-in-chief Chung Pui-kuen and former acting editor-in-chief Patrick Lam was Hong Kong’s first involving the media since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
Stand News, which closed in December 2021, had been one of the city’s last media outlets that openly criticized the government as it waged a crackdown on dissent following massive pro-democracy protests in 2019.
It was shut down just months after the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper , whose jailed founder Jimmy Lai is fighting collusion charges under a sweeping national security law enacted in 2020.
Chung and Lam had pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to publish and reproduce seditious publications — charges that were brought under a colonial-era sedition law used increasingly to crush dissidents. They face up to two years in prison and a fine of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars (about $640) for a first offense.
Best Pencil (Hong Kong) Ltd., the outlet’s holding company, was convicted on the same charge. It had no representatives during the trial, which began in October 2022 .
Judge Kwok Wai-kin said in his written judgment that Stand News became a tool for smearing the Beijing and Hong Kong governments during the 2019 protests.
He said a conviction is deemed proportional “when speech, in the relevant context, is deemed to have caused potential damage to national security and intends to seriously undermine the authority of the Chinese central government or the Hong Kong government, and that it must be stopped.”
The case was centered on 17 articles Stand News had published. Prosecutors said some promoted “illegal ideologies,” or smeared the security law and law enforcement officers. Judge Kwok ruled that 11 carried seditious intent, including commentaries written by activist Nathan Law and esteemed journalists Allan Au and Chan Pui-man. Chan is also Chung’s wife.
The judge found that the other six did not carry seditious intent, including in interviews with pro-democracy ex-lawmakers Law and Ted Hui, who are among overseas-based activists targeted by Hong Kong police bounties .
Chung appeared calm after the verdict while Lam did not appear in court due to health reasons. They were given bail pending sentencing on Sept. 26.
Defense lawyer Audrey Eu read out a mitigation statement from Lam, who said Stand News reporters sought to run a news outlet with fully independent editorial standards. “The only way for journalists to defend press freedom is reporting,” Eu quoted Lam as saying.

Eu did not read out Chung’s mitigation letter in court. But local media outlets quoted his letter, in which he wrote that many Hong Kongers who are not journalists have held to their beliefs, and some have lost their own freedom because they care about everyone’s freedom in the community.
“Accurately recording and reporting their stories and thoughts is an inescapable responsibility of journalists,” he wrote in that letter.
After the verdict, former Stand News journalist Ronson Chan said nobody had told reporters that they might be arrested if they did any interviews or write anything.
The delivery of the verdict was delayed several times for various reasons, including awaiting the appeal outcome of another landmark sedition case . Dozens of residents and reporters lined up to secure a seat for the hearing.

Resident Kevin Ng, who was among the first in the line, said he used to be a reader of Stand News and has been following the trial. Ng, 28, said he read less news after its shutdown, feeling the city has lost some critical voices.
“They reported the truth, they defended press freedom,” Ng, who works in risk management industry, said of the editors.
Stand News shut down following a police raid at its office and the arrests of its leaders. Armed with a warrant to seize relevant journalistic materials, more than 200 officers participated in the operation.
Days after Stand News shut down, independent news outlet Citizen News also announced it would cease operations, citing the deteriorating media environment and the potential risks to its staff.
Hong Kong was ranked 135 out of 180 territories in Reporters Without Borders’ latest World Press Freedom Index, down from 80 in 2021. Self-censorship has also become more prominent during the political crackdown on dissent. In March, the city government enacted another new security law that raised concerns it could further curtail press freedom .
Francis Lee, journalism and communication professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said the ruling on which articles were seditious appears to be drawing lines. Whenever an article is about a one-sided political stance, highly critical or viewed as lacking factual basis, then that could be considered as smearing, Lee said.
Some of the court’s logic differs from how journalists typically think, he said. Journalists “may have to be more cautious from now on.”
Eric Lai, a research fellow at Georgetown Center for Asian Law, said the ruling is in line with “the anti-free-speech trend” of rulings since the 2020 security law took effect, criminalizing journalists carrying out their professional duties.
Foreign governments criticized the convictions . U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller wrote on X that it was a “direct attack on media freedom.”
However, Eric Chan, Hong Kong’s Chief Secretary for Administration, insisted that when journalists conduct their reporting based on facts, there would not be any restrictions on such freedom.
Steve Li, chief superintendent of the police national security department, told reporters the ruling showed their enforcement three years ago — criticized by some as a suppression of free press — was necessary.
