5. How to prove that there is a net worth of 30 million in the past 2 years?
A: It can be explained by bank deposits, stock funds, company equity and real estate in the name of the individual. As a rule of thumb, most applicants use the property as proof of their assets. In addition, a Hong Kong certified public accountant is required for asset certification.
6. Can assets/capital under the net worth rule be jointly owned?
No. Applicants are required to have net assets or net capital with a market capitalisation of not less than HK$30 million (or its equivalent in foreign currencies) in the two years preceding the date of application.
What assets can HK$730000 be invested in?
A: Financial assets, including Hong Kong stocks, bonds, deposits, partnership funds, insurance and other products. Compared with the old plan, the investment scope of the new plan can be said to be exponentially expanded, such as the expansion of compliance funds from only a few dozen to thousands. In addition, it is possible to invest in non-residential real estate, as well as the Hong Kong government's investment portfolio.
8.Will expenses incurred in the process of buying, holding and selling or investing assets be counted towards the minimum investment threshold?
All charges, fees, commissions, stamp duty, taxes, dues and all other expenses incurred in the course of purchasing, holding and disposing of permissible investment assets will not be counted towards the Minimum Investment Threshold.

Applicants may invest in mixed-use commercial and industrial properties, but not in mixed-use commercial and residential properties.

There is no limit to the number of properties purchased by the applicant. The applicant may also be converted from one non-residential property to other non-residential properties, or from non-residential real estate to other permissible financial assets (e.g. stocks, debt securities), or from other permissible financial assets to non-residential real estate.
11.Can an applicant obtain a bank or other loan for the purchase of non-residential real estate?
OK. The applicant may use the non-residential real estate as collateral to make mortgages and re-mortgages with licensed banks or licensed financial institutions in Hong Kong, but only the net capital invested in the non-residential real estate (i.e. the part contributed by the applicant) will be counted as an eligible investment under the Scheme, subject to an investment cap of HK$10 million.
12. Do I need to cover the difference in the event of an investment loss?
If the total market value of the permissible investment assets falls to less than HK$30 million, or even a total loss, there is no need to invest funds to cover the difference.
13. Can I cash out the difference when the investment increases?
The market value of the permissible investment assets grows to more than HK$30 million and no capital gains are withdrawn. However, cash dividend income, interest income and rental income derived from permissible investment assets can be withdrawn.
14. Only invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but everyone is in the mainland, can it be successfully renewed?
OK. This is a unique advantage of investment immigration, the program does not have any residence requirement in Hong Kong, it can be easily renewed, as long as the investment is maintained for 7 years, the applicant can stay in Hong Kong indefinitely.
