In investing in financial assets, investors must open designated accounts with financial intermediaries to buy and sell the investment projects mentioned in part (II). Investors must sign an undertaking on the application form and agree to abide by the rules of this plan during their stay in Hong Kong under this plan.

6. Changes in the value of investment projects

When the total investment value is lower than the minimum HK$ 6,543,800+million, investors do not need to invest in any investment category to make up the difference. At the same time, if the value of the investment project is higher than the original minimum, investors may not withdraw capital gains. Investors can retain the rental income, cash dividend income and interest income from licensed financial assets of qualified properties, which are not regulated by the Capital Investor Access Plan. An investor is free to transfer his investment to different types of permitted investment assets (for example, from real estate to financial assets, or from financial assets to real estate), but he must reinvest all the proceeds from the sale of the original assets. Investors must record every change in their investment portfolio so that they can submit it when applying for extension of residence.

7. Family members coming to Hong Kong

Investors can bring their dependants (that is, spouses and/kloc-unmarried and dependent children under the age of 0/8) to Hong Kong, but they must be able to make a living and provide accommodation without relying on any income, work income or public assistance from approved investment assets in Hong Kong. However, when making an application, the dependant must abide by any other policies then applicable to his entry.

8. Entry arrangements

Approved investors and their dependants (if any) will be issued with visas/entry permits, which they can collect in person at the Immigration Department or hand over to them through Hong Kong consultants. The visa label should be affixed to the blank visa page of the travel document and presented to the immigration officer upon arrival in Hong Kong. If investors come to Hong Kong without proper travel documents, the Immigration Department will issue entry permits. The same arrangement applies to the families of investors.

9. Conditions of stay

After being approved in principle, investors can initially come to Hong Kong as tourists for three months. If evidence can be provided to prove that the relevant investment activities are being actively carried out in Hong Kong, their tourist status can be extended for three months. Investors will be allowed to stay in Hong Kong for two years (officially approved), and they have made the necessary investment after submitting the certificate. Investors can be allowed to extend their stay for two years if they can prove to the satisfaction of the Director of Immigration that they continue to meet the eligibility criteria and investment management requirements set out in the eligibility criteria and investment management provisions. According to this standard, investors can extend their residence for two years at a time. Investors and their dependants who have ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for more than seven consecutive years may apply for the right of abode in Hong Kong according to law.

Investors admitted to Hong Kong under the Hong Kong Investment Immigration Scheme must abide by special conditions of stay. If an investor violates any part of his undertaking to the Immigration Department, he can only stay in Hong Kong until the expiration of his stay, or within two months after the Director of Immigration decides that he has violated his undertaking, whichever is earlier.
