At present, the threshold for handling Hong Kong bank cards in the Mainland is relatively high, and different cities have different requirements, all of which require 300- 1 10,000 financial assets. Investors can also go to Hong Kong (there is no capital threshold) and need to bring the following documents:

1, ID card: official documents with a validity period of at least 3 months are required, and temporary id card and ID cards are not allowed.

2. Address certificate: a paper document printed with my name and address issued by an enterprise or institution within three months.

3. Hong Kong and Macao Pass or Passport: The certificate itself is valid for at least 3 months, and the endorsement of Hong Kong and Macao Pass needs to be valid for more than 3 months.

4. Proof of use: a bank card issued by a mainland bank for more than 6 months or a paper certificate issued by a securities company (only needed by China Merchants Bank in Hong Kong, which is basically negligible).

To sum up, we know that if you apply to open the Hong Kong Stock Connect, you can buy Hong Kong stocks directly in the Mainland, but if you do it through a Hong Kong stock account, you need to bind your bank card in Hong Kong, and you need a higher threshold to handle it.
