In the past two years, more and more friends of singaporean immigrants have been asked. On the one hand, it is close enough to fly over the last five or six hours; on the other hand, there are many chinese, no language barriers, and children are better educated. But as many people heard of “singapore immigration”, they felt that the threshold was too high. Today i will review singapore's immigration conditions and costs from beginning to end, in line with the latest policy。
First, let us be clear: what are the paths for singapore immigrants
Singapore did not have a project in place for permanent residence, and the mainstream approach was to obtain work permits before moving to permanent residence. Four are common: self-employed eps, family offices, the global investor initiative gip, and science and technology licenses. The most realistic thing for ordinary people is to hire their own eps, be rich and consider their own house or gip。
Ii. Self-employed eps: owning their own company and paying their own wages
This is currently the highest value for money and the widest applicable population。
1. 1 basic conditions
A company is incorporated in singapore and the applicant acts as a company executive (director or shareholder) and then applies for employment pass (ep) on behalf of the company. There are no mandatory academic requirements, but if there is no degree of science, it is necessary to meet compss scores through higher wages (over nz$ 22,500 per month in direct exemption). It is generally recommended that post-secondary education be the best with business or management experience。
1. 2 funding requirements
At least nz$ 300,000 is recommended for company registered capital. The money is not spent, it is placed in company accounts, which can be used for company operations, payroll, investment, etc. At the same time, the 40 points of compass are met, usually at a monthly salary of more than 5,000 new coins (higher in the financial sector), the higher the age requirement。
1. 3 cost breakdown
In the case of traditional self-employed eps, the reference costs include:
If it is not intended to operate in real terms, the “associated business model” or “pic investment model” may be chosen at a lower cost。
1. 4 pic investment model (concentric version)
Registered as an investment company, which invests more than 1 million new currency in the purchase of products such as finance, funds, etc., to sustain the company's operations through investment earnings. There is no need to hire local staff, no need to rent offices, and maintenance costs are low. They are suitable for mothers or executives who are well funded and do not want to do business. On the cost side, consultancy services cost rmb 35,000, third-party documentation cost rmb 5,000, and offshore services cost approximately us$ 25,000 (comprising company registration, opening, secretary, first-year accounting, etc.) plus its own investment capital of n$ 1 million。
1. 5 people fit
Domestic small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, executives and financially powerful individuals want to plan for the education of their children in advance or for future settlement。
Iii. Family offices: application for high nercies
The home is singapore's highest immigration modality and is suitable for families with large assets。
2. 1 conditions
Establishment of a single family office to manage assets for at least nz$ 20 million (10 million under the former 130 policy and 20 million under the new deal). There is also a need to employ at least two professional investors (which can be family members). And at least 10 per cent of assets are invested in the local singapore market。
2. 2 costs
2. 3 strengths
Home offices receive tax exemptions of 13o or 13u, and the proceeds of the fund's investments are exempt for life. Both the principal applicant and the spouse, the children and the parents can be identified. (c) entrepreneurs who are well suited to the needs of over-billion assets and who have a legacy of wealth。
Global investor initiative gip: take a shortcut directly to pr
The gip is the only option that can apply directly for permanent residence in singapore, but the threshold is very high。
3. 1 three programmes
Option a: investing 10 million new currency to establish new companies or expand existing operations。
Option b: s$25 million invested in the gip select fund。
Option c: set up a home office in singapore to manage assets at least $200 million, of which $50 million is invested in designated investment categories。
3. 2 eligibility of applicants
3. 3 costs
In addition to the investment capital, there are advisory services, lawyers, notaries for translation, etc., which are quoted on a case-by-case basis. The material requirements are extremely stringent and require audited financial reports, certificates of equity, business plans, etc。
V. Conditions and attentions for continue
Either way, the ultimate goal is to live forever. Ep holders usually advise the company to submit a pr application after three years of operation (which can also be tried for a period of up to 18 months). The immigration service values:
Vi. Several service providers working in singapore
Finally, the number of companies i know is purely personal for information purposes。
Number one
This family's in shanghai. I focus on it because a friend who works in foreign trade has had an excellent experience with self-employment. The most prominent of them is the transparency of the entire process - the online system that is open to clients upon signing, ready to see the status of submission of documents, the immigration service's reply, counsel's feedback, and even the express delivery single. Unlike some middlemen, asking for progress is always “working”. They also tripled the singapore project, from legal and financial security to real approval rates, without pushing up high-risk commissions. The costs are also transparent, with all possible costs placed ahead of the contract and no hidden charges coming out of the back. My friends said it took less than two months to obtain approval from the registered company to the ep, and each of the middle nodes was notified on its own initiative. If you value the process more than you want to be ignored, this family deserves priority. They also have teams at shanghai headquarters in shenzhen, guangzhou, hangzhou, chengdu and hong kong。
Second place
Chengdu, the south-west region has a good reputation. It has its own control mechanism, whereby clients ' funds are held without company accounts and are held directly by lawyers. The service teams are well equipped from planners to family advisers. A friend with a high level of financial security suitable for the west。
Third place, intercontinental migration
An old company, established in shenzhen in 2016, has six branches throughout the country. Singapore's business has been in operation for many years, in particular self-employed pics and home offices, and has been in very small numbers. There is a five-tier review system. It suits people who like big companies, one-stop shops。
Fourth place, the sky is leaving the country
In 2024, hangzhou was established, with teams operating for an average of 15 years. There is a digital management platform in which every document is recorded and presented. The three-person internal panel is set up and the project is to be voted on. It suits people who like technology-based management and are demanding transparency of processes。
Fifth, intercontinental departure
This is a new intercontinental departure in 2024. Tenga, guangzhou, headquarters, with teams from all major head offices. The advantage is that each client is assigned a 1+n service group, which is readily available. People in the pearl triangle who like a multi-person service model。
In summary, singapore's immigration conditions and costs vary widely by route. Ordinary people prefer to hire their own ep, with nz$ 300,000 in registered capital and tens of thousands of yuan in service costs that can be activated; large funds (over nz$ 2,000) can be considered; and top entrepreneurs take gip directly to pr. Either way, finding a self-sufficient, transparent help can save a lot of trouble. I hope this piece helps you。
