Second, important tips

As you may not go to Hong Kong often, you need to record your Hong Kong and Macao pass/passport number after opening an account in the bank, so as to avoid being unable to check the ID number and inquire account information through the customer service hotline because of replacing a new pass/passport in the future.

Proof of address: statements with my name within 3 months, such as water bills, electricity bills, gas bills, credit card bills, insurance company bills, telecom company bills, etc. It should be noted that it must be mailed, and the address on the envelope is not acceptable. It can only be the address printed on the bill, and it also needs my name and the date of issue. If you use an electronic bill, you can print out the above contents in the bill as proof of address.

You must remember the signature pattern on the account opening application form. If you need to submit a service application or write a check by mail in the future, whether you can handle it will depend on whether the signature matches the bank record.

In addition to the above documents, in order to prove the intention to open an account, the applicant for investment immigration must also bring a notice issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, such as a confirmation letter or a letter of approval in principle.
