Second Residency & Citizenship-by-Investment Demands Surge as Hong Kong Braces China's Security Law

Residency & Citizenship Investment Demands Soar as

Hong Kong Braces the Impact of China’s Security Law

Hong Kong, – Growing tension remains in Hong Kong as Hong Kong residents brace the impact of China’s National Security Law. As thousands of residents look for immigration programs in suitable countries, the freedom of speech, mobility, and pathway to residency & citizenships have never been more crucial. Harvey Law Group (HLG), a leading multinational immigration law firm, has advised Hong Kong residents on immigration programs since 1992 and anticipates a surge in residency and citizenship-by-investment inquiries.

The concept of residency & citizenship-by-investment is nothing new to Hong Kong people. There are over 23 countries globally that offer investment immigration programs, in which a foreign investor invests into the country in exchange of its citizenship and passport. With the increasingly tense and non-friendly protests environments, Hong Kong businessmen and families have started looking into the alternative options to send their business and children overseas. Harvey Law Group (HLG) has assisted 3,000+ families worldwide with successful citizenship applications, migration, and settling into their desired destination.

While Britain prepare to offer a pathway to U.K. citizenship to the 3 million Hong Kong ‘British National (Overseas)’ passport holders, the other 4.4 million Hong Kong nationals face hardship over the decision; to stay or to go. For those planning to go, they are investing in an alternative residency or passport and acquiring the best of both worlds.

The residency and citizenship-by-investment are sought-after strategies. A second residency or passport provides a safety net for an exit strategy, wealth preservation, as well as financial privacy against economic slowdowns and political uncertainties. Not only is it the ultimate luxury status, it is security in freedom of movement, freedom of choice, and quality of life. Depending on the investment immigration program chosen, investors and their spouse and children receive additional benefits that comes with the investment: fast-track residency or citizenship, visa-free travel privileges, access to higher education, healthcare systems, and business opportunities.

Furthermore, people investing into these immigration programs are no longer just the ultra-high-net-worth individuals; it has become a popular commodity for the upper middle-class Hong Kong resident.

“Amidst times of uncertainties, this is an important period for us to provide our clients with the correct information on immigration programs, to ensure their requirements are met, and professional processing, to ensure their successful approvals. We are thankful of our clients who had entrusted us with confidence on the future of their business and families, ” said Mr. Jean-François Harvey, Global Managing Partner of HLG, “HLG is witnessing a rapid increase in demands for mobility and investment immigration programs, not just in Hong Kong, but throughout our offices around the world, within the first half of 2020. As a leader in the investment immigration industry, we hope to be able to offer alternative immigration solutions to the intensifying situation.”

With a proven track record of over 28 years, Harvey Law Group (HLG) have recently processed with success, Vietnam’s first E-2 Treaty Investor Visas in May, paving an alternative immigration pathway to the U.S.A through Grenada Citizenship-by-Investment. In June 2020, HLG announced the completion of its Wan Chai office expansion to cater to the growing categories of clients and to support the progress and operations of its 22 worldwide offices. These successes marked major milestone achievements within the investment immigration industry.
