The preparations for opening a bank account in Hong Kong are as follows:

Generally, when applying for a bank card in the Mainland, you usually only need an ID card. However, when applying for a Hong Kong bank card, banks often have the following requirements:

1. A Hong Kong and Macau pass or passport that is more than 6 months away from expiration;

2. Mainland China Resident ID card

3. Proof of address valid within 3 months;

4. Sufficient amount to open an account. Some banks require a certain amount of Hong Kong dollars to be deposited.

5. Some banks require the mainland’s tax number (i.e. ID number) and entry receipt.

The so-called proof of address is actually a certificate proving your current place of residence. This is used to prove that you have a fixed residence. The most common and insured types of proof of address are: credit card bills, water bills, electricity bills, natural gas/gas, telecommunications/landline phone bills, etc. However, Great Wall Port Insurance would still recommend that if you do not have an agent to assist you in opening an account, it is best to call the bank where you want to open an account to confirm whether the address certificate you prepared is recognized by the bank to avoid wasting money! ! ! Once you have these complete materials ready, it will be much faster!
