The Companies Ordinance does not impose any restriction on the nationality of shareholders and directors of a Hong Kong limited company. Non-Hong Kong residents are also eligible to incorporate a Hong Kong limited company and serve as shareholders and directors. All individuals, including Hong Kong residents, Mainland residents, and overseas individuals, can become shareholders of a company. However, individuals who are to become directors of a company must be at least 18 years old, regardless of their residency status (Hong Kong residents, Mainland residents, or overseas individuals).
