Hainan FTP – A Global-Class Foreign Investment Hub
2026 marks the first year of Hainan Free Trade Port’s full customs special operation, making it China’s most open and business-friendly destination for global investors. Boasting a globally competitive 15% corporate income tax (CIT) rate for encouraged-industry enterprises (tourism, modern services, high-tech, digital economy, biomedical and more) versus the national 25% rate, Hainan FTP also features a relaxed foreign investment negative list, zero-tariff policies and streamlined registration procedures. Over 95% of company registration processes are available online, with qualified enterprises able to obtain business licenses in as fast as 3 working days. These unparalleled advantages make Hainan the ideal choice for foreign investors to expand their China business layout.
2026 Core Document Requirements for Hainan Foreign-Owned Company Incorporation
Foreign investors incorporating in Hainan benefit from simplified document requirements under the latest local regulatory facilitation measures, with compliance and efficiency at the core. For investor identity documents, overseas enterprise investors only need to submit a copy of the subject qualification document plus a recommendation letter issued by the Hainan International Economic Development Bureau or local government; overseas individual investors submit a copy of their identity certificate. Eligible documents with an official commitment of “true, legal and consistent with the original” and real-name verified authorized representatives need no notarization or authentication. A genuine and compliant registration address proof is mandatory, with park-hosted addresses a convenient and viable option. Companies are also required to submit a duly formulated articles of association, as well as appointment documents and identity certificates for legal representatives, directors, supervisors and senior management. On registered capital, the 5-year subscription system (per the 2024 revised Company Law) is implemented, with a minimum subscribed capital of RMB 1 million for names prefixed with “Hainan”; real contribution is mandatory for special industries such as finance and labor dispatch. Enterprises outside the Hainan FTP Foreign Investment Access Negative List adopt a filing system with no separate approval needed, and the list allows wholly foreign-owned operations in sectors like vocational training and international medical care.
