At least three months after the Gazette notice in Hong Kong, and at least two months in the UK. In Hong Kong the company first needs a Notice of No Objection from the Inland Revenue Department, then applies, and is dissolved three months after the Gazette notice unless cause is shown. In the UK the company is struck off once the notice period passes without objection.
