\n(‘Bartra’), a subsidiary of Ireland’s leading real estate developer Bartra
\nGroup and the first Irish developer providing direct Irish immigration
\ninvestment advisory in Hong Kong, participated in the 2nd International
\nImmigration and Property Expo from 28-29 August 2021. Over 16,000 visitors attended the
\nexpo, an increase of approximately 40% compared to the last event in March this
\nyear, representing a significant rise in the public’s interest in immigration.
\nA number of talks and briefing sessions were held in the exhibition to
\nintroduce the ways and advantages of investment immigration to Ireland to the public.
\nDuring the expo, Bartra received onsite enquiries from more than 200 clients.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nprocessed approximately 20 applications for Ireland’s Immigrant Investor Programme (“IIP”), amounting to a
\ntotal investment of about HK$200 million. Among them, 4 applicants originally
\nintended to immigrate to the UK through the BN(O) scheme, but finally decided
\nto apply for Ireland’s IIP instead.
\nJeffrey Ling, Bartra Wealth Advisors
\nRegional Manager<\/b>, said, “Some clients applied for Ireland’s IIP to obtain a safety
\nnet when applying for immigration to the UK through the BN(O) scheme. It was
\nmainly because Ireland is close to the UK (about an hour flight) and it is an
\nEnglish-speaking country. Irish citizens not only can access the UK under the
\nCommon Travel Area (CTA) Agreement, they can also access 27 European Union
\ncountries as its member state. Moreover, due to the high residing flexibility
\nin Ireland’s IIP scheme, Ireland’s IIP applicants are only required to enter
\nthe country once and stay for one day every year to retain their PR status and
\nthe right to abode.” <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nthe BN(O) scheme are not entitled to Public Funds, they are also not able to
\nfully access the public health and educational systems in the UK. Moreover, a
\nlarge number of commercial and financial institutions have moved their European
\nheadquarters out of the UK after Brexit, including Barclays and HSBC Holdings
\nPlc., increasing uncertainties for the employment prospects for applicants to
\nthe UK. Ireland, as a member state of the European Union, appeals to clients
\nwho also applied to Ireland’s IIP for protection. In addition, since the HKSAR
\ngovernment has ceased to recognize the BN(O) passport as a valid travel
\ndocument and identity proof since January 2021, Hong Kong citizens are
\nconcerned that they may not be able to apply for the early withdrawal from the
\nMandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme through their BN(O) passports or the
\nrelated visa applications. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nthe desire of Hong Kong families to emigrate has increased sharply lately, and
\ntoday Ireland is becoming one of the most popular destinations for immigration.
\nIn the first half of 2021, the monthly average search volume of “IrishImmigration” in Chinese reached approximately
\n1,000 searches. Furthermore,
\nBartra’s 20 successful applications to Ireland’s IIP this year, represents a
\nsignificant increase from the 50 cases in the 17-month period from August 2019
\nto the end of 2020. Traditionally most Hong Kong emigrants have chosen
\nEnglish-speaking countries in Europe and North America as their destinations,
\nexplaining the considerable appeal of immigration to Ireland to Hong Kong
\npeople where English is the spoken language of the majority as well as the
\ndominant business language.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nthrough the IIP is fast tracked and flexible. It takes about 6 months for
\napproval. Applicants are only required to reside one day per year in Ireland to
\nmaintain their residency; in other words, they can obtain a foreign residency
\nwithout relocating and<\/i> freely decide when to become a tax resident. In
\naddition, Ireland is the only English-speaking country in the European Union,
\nwhich presents fewer language barriers for Hong Kong emigrants. The
\naccompanying children of IIP applicants to Ireland can also enjoy Ireland’s
\nfree education and free choice of schools. The Irish education system is among
\nthe top globally, ranking seventh in the world. In addition, Hong Kong families
\nare often pleasantly surprised when they discover Ireland is part of the Common
\nTravel Area (CTA), which allows Irish Citizens to live and work in the United
\nKingdom’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nNursing Home projects Bartra offers to IIP clients for obtaining permanent
\nresidency in Ireland can be achieved in three or five years (4% flat annual
\ninterest rate for the 5-year option), and both guarantee 100% investment
\ncapital protection. They each have an approval and renewal rate of 100%. Apart
\nfrom cash, for asset value proof, IIP applicants can use stocks, funds, cash
\nvalue of insurance policies, properties, or even parking spaces, valuable
\npaintings or collectables etc. Applicants can also choose to use wealth
\nmanagement services to cash out for their investment into IIP.\u00a0 Some clients will seek advice from financial
\nservices to pledge\/refinance their assets to fund investment immigration in the
\ncurrent low-interest environment so as to obtain residency without disposing
\ntheir existing investments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
