Starting from 28 February 2020, Hong Kong residents can easily apply for our VHIS and Deferred Annuity products while staying home. Our Financial Consultants will explain to customers about the products and documents over the phone, and collect documents via electronic means such as WhatsApp or email. Alternatively, customers can also choose to submit their applications by mail to cater for their different needs. We also offer the possibility for Hong Kong residents to purchase VHIS plans directly online.
