You may wish for your membership status be changed to “Non-resident”. This is applicable to new members/ members who, by self declaration, stay in Hong Kong for a period or a number of periods amounting to less than 183 days during the financial year to which it relates.
Subscription
Every member of any class other than Honorary Fellow or Student Member, whose place of residence is abroad and who wishes to maintain contact with the Institution through the receipt of the Institution’s Journal and Annual Report, may pay a reduced annual subscription known as the “non-resident subscription” which shall be determined by the Council from time to time in respect of each complete financial year of such residence abroad. Non-resident subscription will be effective from the year following notification of intention to leave Hong Kong.

Being a non-resident member you will continue to receive the Institution’s publications via your overseas address. However, your right to vote at the Annual or Special General Meeting of the Institution will cease in accordance with Article 26(6) of our Constitution which states:-
“All Corporate Members (except non-resident Corporate Members) shall have the right to vote at any Annual or Special General Meeting of the Institution and each such Corporate Member shall have one vote.”
In addition, your name will not be included in the list of Corporate Members to be provided to the Registration and Electoral Office of the HKSAR Government.
I would like to change my membership status to non-resident and confirm that I intend to stay in Hong Kong for a period or a number of periods amounting to less than 183 days in a year and shall continue to maintain this status until further notice.
