Hong Kong’s company re-domiciliation regime, effective on 23 May 2025,1 provides a straightforward process for non-Hong Kong companies meeting certain criteria to re-domicile to Hong Kong. The regime is set out in the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) (Companies Ordinance) as amended by the Companies (Amendment) (No.2) Ordinance 2025 (2025 Companies Amendment Ordinance). The Companies (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2024 (2024 Amendment Bill) was passed by the Hong Kong Legislative Council (LegCo) on 14 May 2025 and the 2025 Companies Amendment Ordinance was gazetted on 23 May 2025.
