SINGAPORE Residency & Citizenship By Investment

Singapore Residency by Investment and Entrepreneurship

Singapore offers two primary investment pathways for foreign entrepreneurs and investors seeking residency: the EntrePass (Singapore Tech Start-Up Visa) and the Global Investor Programme (GIP). Both programs are designed to attract global talent and investment, fostering innovation and economic growth in Singapore.

1. EntrePass – Singapore Tech Start-Up Visa

What is EntrePass?

EntrePass is a dedicated program for foreign entrepreneurs who want to establish and operate a business in Singapore that is venture-backed or based on innovative technology. This program is ideal for founders looking to scale their startups in one of the world’s leading business hubs.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Innovative Business Idea

The proposed business must be in a key industry such as technology, biotechnology, healthcare, clean energy or finance.

Entrepreneurial Experience

Applicants should have a proven track record in business or innovation.

No Minimum Investment Required

Unlike GIP, EntrePass applicants are not required to invest a specific sum upfront.

Advanced Technical Expertise

Ideal candidates include professionals with significant experience in the tech industry, including those who:

Have held a leading role in a tech company with a market cap of at least US$500 million or have helped raise at least US$30 million in funding.
Have developed tech products with at least 100,000 monthly active users or generated US$100 million in annual revenue.

The Global Investor Program (GIP) offers Singapore Permanent Residency (PR) to high-net-worth individuals who are willing to make significant financial investments in Singapore’s economy. This program is ideal for investors looking to establish long-term residency while contributing to the local business landscape.
