Hong Kong leavers
Hong Kong families seeking a stable, well-served, discreet European base post-2020.
The post-2020 profile
Following the national security law, tens of thousands of Hong Kong families sought a base in the UK (BNO visa), Canada, Australia. A growing share, especially HNWIs, look to Switzerland for stability and proximity to European centres.
Capital outflow
Unlike mainland China, Hong Kong keeps capital flows free: the wealth transfer remains technically simple. The knot is Swiss KYC compliance, which assesses PRC exposure case by case.
Schools and languages
Cantonese and Mandarin families integrate well into Ticino's international schools (TASIS, ISL). Mandarin is among our network's languages.
