Identity and net assets
Applicants must meet an eligible identity category and the scheme's net-asset requirement. Chinese nationals generally must also satisfy the applicable foreign permanent-residence condition.
New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme
Hong Kong New CIES
is more than an investment
It involves eligibility, net-asset evidence, permissible investment assets, financial intermediaries, annual reporting, extensions of stay and long-term family settlement. Each workstream must independently satisfy the applicable rules.
Verified Framework
Confirm eligibility before discussing allocation
This overview was checked as at 21 August 2026. A formal application must follow the latest requirements of the New CIES Office, Immigration Department and relevant regulators.
HKD 30 million framework
Permissible financial assets and the CIES Investment Portfolio have distinct scope, limits and ongoing requirements, subject to the rules in force when applying.
Not a one-off application
Formal approval, annual reporting, investment maintenance, extensions of stay and status arrangements after seven years are separate procedures. None happens automatically.
Our Role
Put immigration, investment and family arrangements on one map
Route comparison
Compare applicable talent-admission schemes, the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, employment-based routes and New CIES rather than treating investment migration as the only option.
Evidence coordination
Map identity, assets, source of funds, dependants and key deadlines.
Professional coordination
Coordinate accountants, lawyers, immigration professionals and eligible financial intermediaries. Each professional remains responsible for work within their licence or qualification.
Long-term settlement
Coordinate education, retirement, insurance, business arrangements and family succession.
Important boundary: CIES approval does not mean funds may automatically be remitted from Mainland China, and an investment product does not secure immigration approval. Source of funds, foreign exchange, tax, anti-money-laundering and suitability requirements must be assessed separately. Government departments, banks and financial intermediaries conduct their own independent reviews; SHINE FAMILY cannot guarantee approval or investment results.
