Singapore — Residency

Singapore Global Investor Programme (GIP)

Processing time: 7–10 months
Physical presence: To renew the five-year Re-Entry Permit that carries permanent residence, GIP holders must keep the investment in place and show real economic ties — typically residence in Singapore and, for many, jobs created. It is not a passive arrangement.
Family: A single application can include a spouse and children under 21. Parents and children over 21 can apply for long-term visit passes separately.

Limits and drawbacks

This is permanent residence, not a fast passport. Singapore does not allow dual citizenship: naturalising later (possible after about two years of PR, and entirely discretionary) requires renouncing your original nationality.
The tickets are among the highest anywhere — from SGD 10 million — and the grant is discretionary, aimed at established business owners, fund principals and family offices, not passive investors.
Keeping PR is conditional: the five-year Re-Entry Permit is renewed only if you maintain the investment and show genuine economic contribution and ties to Singapore.
Singapore is an expensive place to actually live, and Option A capital is at real business risk, not parked in a safe deposit.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Singapore specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
