Singapore
Global Investor Program
The Singapore Golden Visa’s official designation is the Global Investor Programme. It provides permanent residency to approved applicants. You are eligible for citizenship after only two years. The investment requirement is 2.5 million SGD (approximately $1.9 million USD) and can be made in a business, family office or authorized investment fund. The program is very selective, as applicants need to show involvement in a current business with at least 200 million SGD in annual turnover.

Singapore Global Investor Program
Application Process
Singapore is one of the best offerings on the global mobility asset market because the country can boast having one of the strongest passports in the world. But the option is not for everyone, as the country does not currently allow dual citizenship and still has compulsory military service for the male descendants of permanent residents and citizens.
Requirements
- Option A: 2.5 million SGD investment in a new business or an existing business
- Option B: 2.5 million SGD investment in an authorized GIP fund
- Option C: 2.5 million SGD investment in a new or existing Singapore-based family office with assets under management of at least 200 million SGD
Other requirements:
- The investment needs to be held for at least five years. After two years, you are eligible for naturalization, a process that takes between 6 and 12 months. But if you aren’t interested in naturalization, you can choose to renew your permanent resident permit. Renewals vary from three to five years, based on the performance of the investment.
