Hong Kong’s New Re-domiciliation Regime
Hong Kong’s new re-domiciliation regime may help Hong Kong attract foreign conglomerates to relocate their regional headquarters to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has reinforced its status as a leading business hub in Asia with the introduction of a new company re-domiciliation regime, offering a streamlined path for foreign companies to relocate their domicile and regional headquarters to Hong Kong while maintaining legal continuity and operational stability. This significant legislative development is part of broader efforts to strengthen the city’s global competitiveness and position as a global financial hub.
Effective May 2025, Hong Kong’s re-domiciliation regime enables eligible non-Hong Kong incorporated companies to transfer their statutory domicile to Hong Kong without dissolving and re-incorporating, thereby preserving their corporate identity, contracts, and legal relationships throughout the transition.
Upon successful registration with the Companies Registry under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) (CO), the company is treated as a Hong Kong incorporated entity for all legal and tax purposes. This status allows full access to Hong Kong’s regulatory, legal, and fiscal advantages.
