Ireland is the only English-speaking country member of the European Union (EU) after Brexit. Its multicultural society, discounted or free high-quality education, advanced health and welfare systems, as well as safe living environment have attracted many Hongkongers migrate to Ireland in recent years.
The Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) is open to non-EEA nationals who commit to an approved investment in Ireland.
