Overview

Hong Kong is renowned for the ease of doing business underpinned by a strong tradition of rule of law. Its open and efficient company governance regime, simple taxation system and world-class professional services have made it an international hub for companies to set up headquarters and regional offices to expand their reach to Hong Kong and the Mainland, as well as the vibrant economies in the Asian region and beyond.

With a view to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a global business and financial hub, the Government has introduced a company re-domiciliation regime in Hong Kong under the Companies (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 2025 (the “Amendment Ordinance”).

The company re-domiciliation regime provides a simple, accessible and cost-effective route for non-Hong Kong corporations to re-domicile to Hong Kong while maintaining their legal identity as a body corporate and ensuring business continuity.

Comprehensive information on the company re-domiciliation regime, including full text of the Amendment Ordinance, new / revised forms, External Circular, “Guide on Company Re-domiciliation” and Frequently Asked Questions in relation to the company re-domiciliation regime etc. are available in this thematic section.
