Hong Kong's status as a leading international financial centre, together with its reputation for providing a good quality of life for families, are just some of the reasons why many of our expat clients continue to enjoy working and living in the city.

In the early days of the pandemic, expats were able to manage their global business interests and children being educated overseas, even with Hong Kong's strict quarantine requirements for international travellers. As time has gone on though, and with no signs of the city's zero-Covid strategy abating, the situation has become increasingly unsustainable. This has led to a growing contingent of Hong Kong expats (many being c-suite executives) feeling they have run out of options and are looking to move (back) to the UK. Many have sought advice from us on a variety of associated issues ranging from pre-arrival cross-border estate and tax planning to assistance with obtaining the relevant UK visas (typically) for their spouses.
