Hong Kong

Asia

Hong Kong is a pure territorial system with no capital gains tax and no general residence test, and the Top Talent Pass Scheme grants 24 to 36 months with no job offer needed, arguably the best remote-worker-adjacent route in Asia. The 60-day rule everyone quotes only excludes short visits though, it does not protect the start or finish of a long residence, the sharpest trap in the corridor.
