OVERVIEW

Singapore is a sovereign island city-state located in maritime Southeast Asia, off the southern tip of Malaysia. Despite its small size, it has a population of 5.9 million people (2022), and has the third highest population density in the world. Singapore is a vastly multicultural/multiracial nation with a number of cultural and ethnic groups. National policies in education, housing and politics are heavily influenced by multiracialism, and the region works hard to remain sensitive to the needs of all ethnicities and races.

Singapore is home to four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. It is a melting pot of cultures, with citizens practicing a mixture of religions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism and Hinduism.

Singapore is a highly developed, free-market economy with an open and transparent business environment. Monetary and fiscal policies are extremely prudent, while trade freedom is strong. The region has 27 preferential trade agreements in place, a sophisticated financial sector, and a growing number of foreign banks. With a score of 84.4, its economy was ranked freest in the world in the 2022 Index. It has a robust GDP equal to that of leading western nations, while its finance sector continues to grow and expand.

Why Choose Singapore?

Singapore ranks highly for many reasons, including high education standards and an efficient medical system. It is widely regarded as one of the safest countries in the world, with consistently low crime rates, a reliable police force and a transparent legal system.

If you’re considering relocating to Singapore for recruitment, you’ll benefit from one of the world’s most competitive, specialized and dynamic financial centers. The country is incredibly popular among expats thanks to its lucrative salaries and competitive benefits packages. Singapore companies are particularly keen to acquire top international talent, with high average salaries in place. It boasts absolute political stability, a progressive personal tax system and excellent public services, making it easy for residents and expats alike to enjoy a high quality-of-life.

Requirements to set up a company

This is an incredibly prosperous nation with a business-friendly regulatory environment and exceptionally low unemployment rates. When it comes to establishing a business here, judicial processes are very reliable in business-related matters. The region has a business-friendly legal and tax structure, a reliable infrastructure, and dependable regulatory processes.

If you’re a businessowner or start-up entrepreneur wishing to establish a presence in Singapore, the procedure is incredibly simple. Being ranked number one in the world for ease of doing business (2021 World Bank) means that starting a business here is simple, quick, and straightforward. The entire process can be done online and takes a matter of hours upon payment of the registration fee. From there, you can obtain assistance from the ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) to support you in handling your business needs.


Requirements for employees wishing to relocate

If you’re seeking Singapore recruitment, you’ll need to apply for a work permit. There are different kinds of Singapore work visas that fall under simple categories depending on your income, skillset, and experience. These include the S Pass for mid-skilled and qualified individuals, the Employment Pass for foreign professionals (manager/executives etc.), as well as the Personalized Employment Pass (PEP) for exceptional, top-tier executives. If you already have a job offer in place, the process of applying for a work permit is relatively straightforward.
