The first formalities for the compliance exit of funds. The → commercial department of the National Development and Reform Commission records the foreign exchange registration of the issuing → bank. The three links are completed by one team, and the path is determined first, and then the declaration is made.
Domestic enterprises investing abroad are required by law to file first. There is no record of filing, the funds cannot be released, and the profits cannot be returned.
As long as the domestic company invests for the purpose of acquiring the equity of the overseas enterprise - even if the amount is small, it needs to be handled.
"Overseas Investment Project Filing Notice" + "Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate" + Bank Foreign Exchange Registration Certificate.
The "Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate" is valid for 2 years. The actual investment must be completed within the validity period. If it is overdue, it must be processed again.
Outbound Direct Investment (ODI)refers to the act of an enterprise in China acquiring the ownership, control, management and other rights and interests of a non-financial enterprise abroad through new establishment, mergers and acquisitions and other means. According to the current regulations, domestic enterprises must complete overseas investment in turn.Development and Reform Department Filing (or Approval)→ Commerce Department Filing → Bank Foreign Exchange Registration, only after all the funds are completed can they leave the country in compliance.
What we're looking at for the record isInvestment BehaviorInstead of the size of the amount: the establishment of new overseas subsidiaries, the increase of capital for overseas companies, and the acquisition of overseas equity are all within the scope of supervision. If the company has been registered overseas but it was not done at that time, it belongs to stock replenishment, and the sooner it is replenished, the more proactive it is.
Establish new companies, branches, and joint venture entities in Southeast Asia or other regions, and use domestic funds to contribute capital.
Increase the capital of existing overseas companies, acquire equity in overseas companies, and obtain control or management rights.
Multi-platform payment collection requires compliance collection and departure, and ODI is the basic action for long-term compliance operations.
The overseas company has been established, but it did not file for the year, and it needs to make up for it before making return investment or subsequent changes.
The online system submits the filing form and project materials, focusing on reviewing the compliance of the project and whether it involves sensitive industries or sensitive areas.
Submit the filing and issue the certificate according to the notice of the National Development and Reform Commission. The project cycle of the filing type is short, and the sensitive type needs to be transferred for approval.
Bring the first two documents to the bank for ODI foreign exchange registration, and after the registration is completed, the investment funds can be remitted.
Banks will not remit funds for offshore investments that have not been filed, and projects can only be dragged or greyed out.
There is a lack of legal cooperation channels for overseas dividends and capital reduction and return, and the money on the account looks too much and cannot be used.
Holding overseas entities to return to China to set up foreign-funded companies and enjoy foreign capital policies requires ODI records to support them.
Financing due diligence and listing verification will question the legitimacy of overseas entities, and failure to file is a hard injury.
Note: The bill of materials is subject to the current requirements of the accepting authority, and additional letters of advice from the industry authorities may be provided for sensitive industry projects. All of the above materials will be provided with macros and pre-screened one by one to avoid being returned due to material issues.
Yes. The filing supervision is the act of "obtaining the rights and interests of overseas enterprises", regardless of the size of the amount, there is no exemption limit. The size of the amount only affects the acceptance level and the strength of the review.
Yes, this is stock replenishment. It is necessary to sort out the investment path at that time and fill in the materials, and the sooner you make up, the more proactive you will be - dragging it until you want to return the investment or financing due diligence will magnify the cost and risk.
The reporting entity for ODI filing is a domestic enterprise. Individuals' overseas investment takes another path (such as 37th document registration), and the two cannot be mixed. If your structure is a personally owned offshore company, it is recommended to talk about it before you do it.
The legal time limit for the three parts of the filing project is about 15–20 working days in total, which is often affected by material correction in practice. The most common sticking points are poor quality research reports and vague descriptions of funding sources - both of which we have mature templates for.
