Non-resident questions, answered.
Do I need to travel to Hong Kong to incorporate?
No. The entire incorporation process is completed remotely. You submit your documents online, and we handle all filings with the Companies Registry. The Certificate of Incorporation is delivered digitally. No visit required at any stage.
What documents do I need as a non-resident?
A valid passport (certified copy), proof of residential address (utility bill or bank statement less than 3 months old), and basic information about your business activities. Our KYC wizard guides you through the full process step by step.
Are there any nationality restrictions?
Hong Kong welcomes founders from 190+ countries. Certain high-risk jurisdictions (subject to FATF restrictions) may require additional compliance documentation. During onboarding, you will be notified if additional steps apply to your nationality.
How is my company managed from abroad?
The HEVEA Digital Suite gives you remote access to your company dashboard, digitized mail, compliance calendar, and document vault. Your licensed company secretary handles all statutory filings on your behalf. You manage everything from your phone or laptop.
Will I owe taxes in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong uses a territorial tax system — only profits sourced in Hong Kong are taxed at 16.5%. If your business operates entirely outside Hong Kong, you may qualify for the offshore profits tax exemption, effectively reducing your Hong Kong tax rate to 0% on offshore income.
