4 Ways to Immigrate to Ireland From Hong Kong

There are several different ways potential investors can immigrate to Ireland from Hong Kong. 

The Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) is an attractive programme for investors and business professionals from outside the European Economic Area (EEA). However, there are alternative programmes that may be more suitable to potential investors.

Such programmes include the “Start-Up Entrepreneur Programme (STEP)” and the “Critical Skills Employment Permits (CSEP)”.

We will also provide information regarding the “Start-Up Entrepreneur Programme” and the “Critical Skills Employment Permits”.

One major advantage of the IIP is that it recognises investors who benefit from the programme may have substantial business and financial interests outside of Ireland. Therefore, actual physical residence in Ireland is not a condition for renewal of your residency permission under the IIP. This condition applies to both investors and their nominated family members. The programme simply requires investors and their family members to visit Ireland at least once per calendar year.

Applying for the Ireland Immigrant Investor Program (IIP).

Also known as the Golden Visa or Irish Citizenship by Investment, this is a residency initiative that grants applicants and their family members with Ireland residency. This is given to applicants in exchange for a significant investment. In order to be eligible for an Irish Golden Visa, a candidate must have a legally accumulated minimum net worth of €2 million, have good character, have no criminal convictions anywhere in the world, and make the required contribution to the Irish economy.
