Hong Kong Expats Get Hong Kong Passports

Why Some Hong Kong Expats Relinquish Their Citizenship-of-Origin and Become Chinese Citizens

Hong Kong Expats Get Hong Kong Passports – Why?

In recent years, a growing number of expats in Hong Kong have made the decision to relinquish their citizenship-of-origin and become Chinese citizens. This trend is fueled by several key factors, including the desire for greater access to opportunities in mainland China, long-term residency stability, and the ability to align with the region’s evolving political and economic landscape.

For many, becoming a Chinese citizen also means unlocking business advantages and having an easier time integrating into local communities.
