Registration for the HK Government’s $10,000 economic stimulus payout finally begins today, 21 June, 2020.
Do you qualify for the handout?
Are you over 18 years old and a Hong Kong permanent resident as of 31 March, 2021 (yes 2021!), then yes.
If you qualify, you have until 31 December, 2021 to register.
How to Register?
There are two ways to register:
If you have a Hong Kong dollar savings or current account in your name (not a joint account) with one of these banks, you can register on your bank’s website or mobile app.
If you don’t have an HK bank account or if you do but it’s not only in your name, you can register via paper form filed through Hong Kong Post or your bank.
When will you get your $10,000?
Bank e-registration payments start on 8 July 2020. Applications made after 1 July are promised payment within 1 week.
If you don’t e-register, payments begin 20 July, with registrations after 5 July taking up to a month to process.
