Retirement in Singapore for expats
Retirement in Singapore for expats
Where can I find basic information about immigration/residence regulations for UK non-working citizens who want to stay long term in Singapore (retirement)? None of the regular sources seems to address this specifically. Or is it easier to stay long term under a professional/work visa?

Hi Brian, have you tried here ... http://app.ica.gov.sg ?
Good luck

Thanks, yes, I looked here, since it's the official source, but it's absolutely silent on the issue. Essentially it indicates that you have to have a Singapore family connection, be an investor or be on a professional/technical work visa in order to qualify for permanant residency. Nothing about retired expat professionals no longer working but able to support themselves.Yutenji wrote:Hi Brian, have you tried here ... http://app.ica.gov.sg ?

The truth of the matter is that Singapore lacks natural resources, and the authorities believe that for the nation to prosper, all residents (local and foreign citizens) have to be contributing economically to the nation. This belief has shaped the immigration policy to allow only high value-add foreigners and their dependents.
Generally, retirees are not viewed as “high value add”

Setting up in Singapore
My husband and I run a logistic business in singapore since 2002. A a small company we are catagorized as Small Medium Entreprise companies (SMEs).
We are looking for an investor and if you can contribute apart from financially, (contacts and business expertise for our expansion) we be glad to discuss further. If I'm not wrong the minimum investment for an individual to qualify for a permanent resident is SGD200,000 and you can apply for a employment permit and eventualy request for PR. My husband is 51 and is retiring soon (well not true, he wants to work) and a man at his age is difficult to get a job.
Even if it doesn't work out, we love to help and show you other options for you to stay in Singapore. Email me at hanesa@singnet.com.sg
