Re-domicile Your Company to Hong Kong

Thinking of moving your company to Hong Kong?​

Companies incorporated outside Hong Kong can re-domicile to Hong Kong under a new statutory regime introduced in 2025. This means eligible foreign companies can transfer their incorporation to Hong Kong and continue as if originally formed in Hong Kong —without the need to wind up or re-incorporate.

Why re-domicile to Hong Kong?​

Hong Kong offers a robust legal framework, world-class financial infrastructure, and unrivalled access to Asian and global markets. Hong Kong’s re-domiciliation regime makes it easier than ever to establish a corporate presence in this premier international business hub.

Charltons can help.​

Our team provides full legal support throughout the re-domiciliation process—from jurisdictional due diligence and structuring advice to preparing required

documentation and liaising with regulators. Whether you’re a private or public, we offer seamless end-to-end service.
