在全球产业链加速整合的今天,越来越多的中国企业正积极布局海外,寻求新市场与新机遇。然而,出海第一步——资金如何合规出境?常常成为企业面临的第一个“合规门槛”。

ODI filing is the "official passport" for Chinese enterprises to invest abroad. Without it, capital can't go out, projects are difficult to land, and profits are difficult to flow back.

那么100万至上亿的资金,如何安全转移出境?

对有跨境需求的老板、高净值人群来说,资金出境始终是块“心病”。明明有海外置业、子女留学、企业并购的刚需,却困在个人每年5万美金的外汇额度里,急着用钱时只能干瞪眼;更怕乱找渠道踩红线,钱没转成还惹上麻烦。

In fact, large sums of money out of the country do not have to "go out of the way", the core logic of the regulation is very clear: as long as the source of funds is legal, the use of real, formal channels, millions or even hundreds of millions of funds can be safely transferred out.

01 What is an ODI filing?

随着ODI备案进入“全链条穿透监管+精细化服务”新阶段,“备案先行”已成为企业出海不可逾越的红线。

不少企业因对新规不熟悉,要么误判项目适配性错失先机,要么材料不合规被驳回。


ODI (Outbound Direct Investment) filing is a statutory pre-procedure for domestic enterprises to undergo a coordinated review by the NDRC, MOFCOM and OFAC before carrying out overseas real investment.

The core logic of the current new regulations is "hierarchical control and penetrating verification", and the three departments have established a data-sharing mechanism to review the whole chain of equity structure, source of funds and business substance, so that shell investments and illegal overseas activities are precisely controlled.

Note: natural persons can not directly apply for ODI filing, must be the main body of the domestic enterprise legal person; not complete the filing or approval that is invested, will face a fine of 10%-30% of the investment amount, and within 3 years prohibited cross-border investment and financing.

02 大额资金如何借助ODI备案合规出境

1)合规出境的3个关键前提

Whichever way you use it, catch these 3 points first, and you basically won't step on any mines:

First, the source of funds should be legal, such as business dividends, property sales, salary income, etc., should be ready to prove;

Secondly, the use should be real, and there must be corresponding proofs for purchasing houses, studying abroad, investing, etc. False declarations are strictly prohibited;

Third, the channel should be formal, away from the underground money changers, "ants moving" and other irregularities, go to the bank or officially recognized channels.

2)四大合规方案,按需选择不踩坑

Different scenarios correspond to different programs, no matter whether it is a business or an individual, you can find a suitable way to completely break through the limit of the amount of money.

1)企业专属:

ODI备案(境外直接投资)如果企业要做海外并购、设子公司、投项目,ODI备案是最稳妥的选择,几乎没有额度上限,上亿资金也能合规转出。

案例:深圳一位制造老板,要花2个小目标并购欧洲公司,就是通过ODI备案,备齐投资可行性报告、资金来源审计报告等材料,经发改委和商务部门审核后,顺利从对公账户汇出资金,全程合规无问询。

实操很简单,三步走:

A. 备齐境内企业营业执照、财务报表等材料申请备案;

B. 拿到备案通知书后,从对公账户备注“境外投资款”汇出;

C. 后续定期报送项目运营情况,形成合规闭环。既能转资金,还能助力企业全球化布局,一举两得。

2) Personal immediate needs:

合法用途专项申报个人要海外购房、大额留学、赡养家人,不用等5万美金额度,专项申报就能解决。

案例:北京L先生想在新加坡买2000万左右的房子,就是靠这种方式:准备好购房合同、国内房产出售流水、收入完税证明,向银行提交专项申报,10个工作日就完成了资金汇出。

The core of the "two certificates complete": proof of purpose (purchase contract, admission notice, etc.) and proof of the source of funds (current, financial redemption certificate, etc.), submitted to a large foreign exchange qualification of the bank, the audit is approved, can be remitted, millions of millions of dollars of funds are not a problem.

3) Pledge of assets:

Inside-outside lending is a flexible option if you have assets such as real estate, equity and deposits in hand.

Simply put, it means that you pledge your domestic assets to a domestic bank, which guarantees your financing abroad, and the foreign bank then grants you a loan.

案例:北京L先生,用价值3000万的四合院抵押给内地银行,通过内保外贷,顺利在香港拿到1800万资金,用于境外生意经营,不用直接转出境内资金,灵活又安全。

4)移民专属:

移民资金出境已经拿到国外永居、护照,或港澳台永居身份的朋友,可申请移民资金出境。

Case: get the U.S. permanent residence of Mr. W, to transfer domestic funds to the U.S. life, is to take the immigration materials to the foreign exchange bureau to apply for more than 500,000 reported to the State Administration of Foreign Affairs for approval, through the bank for remittance, the second purchase of foreign exchange only need to apply to the local foreign exchange bureau, the process is simpler.

注意,申请时需要注销国内户籍,但不影响国籍,仍享有中国公民的权利义务。

03 哪些项目需要办理ODI备案?

(1) The nature of the project: to clarify the boundaries of the three categories of "encouragement, restriction and prohibition".

Incentive programs:

Including "Belt and Road" along the infrastructure, high-tech manufacturing, energy resources exploration, processing of agricultural products, etc., can enjoy the green channel, A-class enterprises under 10 million U.S. dollars of investment in the fastest 9 days to close.

Restricted/sensitive items:An authorization system, rather than a filing system, is required. Sensitive industries include key areas such as artificial intelligence infrastructure, 6G, strategic minerals, etc., and investments in real estate, studios, sports clubs, etc., are virtually impossible to pass; sensitive regions include non-federalized countries, sanctioned countries, and war-torn areas, and investments need to be additionally submitted with geopolitical risk assessment reports.

Prohibited items:Shell structure investment without real business, involving weapons and equipment, cross-border water resources development, etc., directly reject the filing application.

2) Subjects and finances: hard indicators are missing

Subject Requirements:The enterprise legal person (except the pilot industry of the free trade port) which has been established in China for one year according to the law, with the business scope containing the expression of "offshore investment", the actual controller without any major violation of laws and regulations, and the report of "Credit China" must be provided.

Financial indicators:No loss in the recent 1-year audit report, net assets not less than 2 times the investment amount, gearing ratio ≤ 70%; return on net assets higher than 5% is more likely to pass the audit, and C-level enterprises (high debt, violation records) will be suspended from filing eligibility for 1 year.

3) Authenticity of investments: a central point of penetrating verification

The source of funds needs to be legal and traceable, it is prohibited to invest with bank loans and financial funds, own funds need to provide proof of running water, shareholder loans need notarized contracts; the project needs to have commercial substance, it needs to provide proof of offshore office address and full-time employees, and it needs to avoid multi-layer equity nesting, or else it will be recognized as a shell structure dismissed.

Enterprise Caiying Group's ODI Filing Delivery Case

04 哪些企业需要ODI备案?

🌟 An ODI filing is required whenever your business does one of the following:
✅ New Establishment: the creation or acquisition of a new company abroad and the assumption of control;
✅ M&A participation: Acquisition/participation in a foreign company with effective control;
✅ Establishment of branches: establishment of offices, branches and other business entities outside the country;
✅ Financing support: internal and external loans for overseas subsidiaries, banks require ODI certificates;
✅ Additional investment: capital increase and capital injection in foreign subsidiaries;
✅ Return Investment: Overseas listed companies investing back to their home countries are required to issue ODI filing certificates.

✅ Applicable to:

:: Mainland enterprises intending to invest in the establishment of offshore companies (including offshore companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, BVI, Cayman, etc.).

:: Has registered an offshore entity with a Mainland company as a shareholder but has not yet applied for an ODI.

● Customers whose place of registration is in Shanghai, Chongqing, or other areas where ODI is not allowed.

● Applicable entities: Mainland-registered cross-border e-commerce enterprises (/companies are eligible).

 为什么跨境电商必须做ODI?
2025-2026 regulatory context, with policy drivers being the main reason:

● Amazon has been reporting transaction, revenue, and bank account information of all Chinese sellers to Chinese tax authorities on a quarterly basis since October 2025 (covering 22 sites).

:: The IRD will identify hidden income through a four-source comparison of "platform data + bank flows + customs declarations + ODI filings".

● No ODI = no proof of linkage between offshore company and domestic entity = profit repatriation is treated as "individual splitting of foreign exchange purchases" or "clandestine money laundering".

💡 Conclusion: ODI is not a cost, it is a "tax compliance moat" for cross-border e-commerce.

必须避免的三大坑

很多人栽在“心存侥幸”上,以下3种操作坚决别做:

First, "ants moving", looking for relatives and friends to split the amount of money transfer, once monitored, the account will be frozen, credit left a bad record;

Secondly, false declaration of purpose, with "tourism" "study" in the name of transferring money to foreign investment, gambling, once found inconsistent with the purpose, will be suspended from foreign exchange business, and even face administrative penalties;

Thirdly, relying on underground money changers, not only may roll up the money to run away, but also suspected of money laundering, facing criminal penalties, the consequences are unimaginable. Funds out of the country, compliance is always the first place.

By choosing the right formal channels and preparing complete documents, you can efficiently meet the needs of cross-border funds without worrying about the difficulty of transferring money and the fear of violation.

06 ODI Filing Process

(i) Pre-preparation (3-7 days)

Clarify the investment destination and project details to avoid conflicting local policies (e.g., Uganda restricts foreign investment in small-scale retailing).

Prepare core materials: business license, audit report for the last 1 year, description of funding source, short version of feasibility study (10 pages or less is sufficient for non-sensitive projects), and commitment to authenticity.

(ii) Three sectoral declarations (20-30 days)

(1) Filing by NDRC: Log in to the National Online Approval and Supervision Platform for Investment Projects and obtain the Notice of Filing for Overseas Investment Projects in about 10 working days after submitting the materials, focusing on verifying the compliance of the project.

(2) Recorded by the Ministry of Commerce: Uploading materials through the Overseas Investment Management System and receiving the Certificate of Enterprise Overseas Investment in about 8 working days, noting that the certificate is valid for 2 years.

(3) Foreign exchange registration: docking with ODI-qualified banks, opening a special account, completing the registration can purchase foreign exchange remittance, the first capital contribution is not less than the total investment amount of 30%.

(iii) Follow-up compliance maintenance

The joint annual report on overseas investment is submitted from January to June each year, and changes in major matters (capital increase, transfer of shares over 10%) need to be reported within 30 days.

Compliance certificates are retained for more than five years to avoid subsequent business being affected by a lack of post-investment management.

Common Funding Methods and Pitfall Avoidance Points

(1) Cash contribution is the mainstream method, which needs to be remitted through a dedicated account to avoid split remittance;

(2) In-kind contributions require an asset evaluation report, procurement contract and transportation documents;

(3) Equity, intangible assets need to complete the value assessment and ownership certificate, complex structure is recommended to consult a professional organization in advance, such as the Enterprise Caiying Group.

高频驳回原因需规避:材料未双认证、财务报告过期、本地化承诺不达标(如境外项目未明确本地员工比例)、资金来源模糊等,建议采用“中国端+境外端”双轨预审,提升通过率。

The current ODI filing policy not only strengthens regulation, but also optimizes the process for compliant enterprises. Enterprises need to accurately judge the suitability of projects and plan capital and structure in advance before going overseas, in order to efficiently complete the filing and build a compliant foundation for offshore business.
