Domicile of HK-registered foreign companies

This page ranks the domicile of overseas companies which are registered as having a place of business in HK and are not dissolved. All companies with a primary or secondary listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd are required to be registered (because a share registration office constitutes a place of business), but most registered companies are not listed.

Note: data on domicile are often unknown after 16-Nov-2020, when we started our last complete scan of the registry. On 22-Nov-2020, the registry implemented a new captcha system, preventing further data collection. The limited data available on data.gov.hk (comprising delayed weekly updates) only cover new registrations and name-changes, without stating domicile.
