United States Visa Options for Hong Kong Nationals and Residents

EB5 Visa for Citizens of Hong Kong

Hong Kong is subject to a separate EB5 quota to the rest of China, which means Hong Kong citizens do not face the same multi-year waiting list. Eligibility for EB5 is determined by the country or jurisdiction of a person’s birth. The EB5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program offers permanent residency (a Green Card) in return for a $900,000 investment in the United States. D&A has successfully helped hundreds of clients move to America.

D&A has a large L1 Visa & E2 Visa Processing Team spread across the United States. We have helped hundreds of people open a new US branch of an existing business in the United States and then transferred them to live there on an L1 Hong Kong work visa.

UK Options for Hong Kong Residents

Given the historic and special relationship between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom the UK has made special immigration options available for Hong Kong residents.
One of these options gives British Nationals (overseas) the possibility of obtaining a British Nationals (overseas) visa, or “BNO” visa, to relocate to the United Kingdom.
D&A’s London office are familiar with the BNO visa and other UK immigration options for Hong Kong residents and work with our team in Kowloon to assist our clients in Hong Kong for a visa to the UK.

Some of our Hong Kong clients want a quick, effective route to another passport. We are able to support our clients whichever Citizenship or Residency program they choose. For those clients who have not chosen, we often recommend the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme. This is a fast, cost-effective program that offers a strong passport and access to the USA under the E2 Visa program.
