Singapore's provident fund system began at 1955, which is the core of Singapore's social security system. After years of development, this system has become a comprehensive social security system integrating pension, medical care, housing, family security and other functions.

Singapore's provident fund system is open to all employed citizens and permanent residents.

paid holiday

In Singapore, employees are entitled to at least 7 days of annual leave in their first year of service, with a maximum of 265,438+0 days. Most employees are entitled to two to three weeks of annual leave and paid sick leave. Singapore has 1 1 legal holidays every year. If the statutory holiday coincides with the employee's holiday (such as Sunday), the next working day will automatically become a paid holiday. But some companies or industries have different arrangements. Other paid holidays stipulated in the Labor Law include: sick leave: employees can enjoy 14 days of sick leave every year after six months of service. To apply for sick leave, you must show a sick leave form issued by a company doctor or a government doctor.

medical insurance

In Singapore's total national health expenditure, the proportion paid by individuals accounts for more than 60%. The Singapore government advocates "healthy savings". "Health savings" is to accumulate funds for hospitalization, for the future, for the elderly and for the risk of disease. Savings accounts can only pay for hospitalization and a few expensive outpatient expenses, which can be used by three generations of a family (parents, children, couples). The hospitalization expenses are borne by the state subsidies, personal medical accounts and individuals, rather than the full payment of personal accounts.

Pension system

In Singapore, everyone has their own pension account, and everyone pays until the age of 55. If it reaches the minimum limit set by the government, it can be exempted. On July 1 day, 2005, the government set the minimum amount at S $90,000, which will be raised to S $120,000 in 20 13. Singapore permanent residents and citizens can receive a monthly government pension from the age of 62. In case of death, the balance in the provident fund account will be transferred to its beneficiary.

Family reunion visa

Many international students can apply for permanent residence in Singapore after graduating from the University of Singapore. Their parents and married in-laws can generally apply for long-term residence in Singapore. The validity period of this visa, the validity period of the permanent resident card that follows the child, is generally 5 years or 10 years, and multiple trips can be made. With this visa, parents and children can jointly set up companies and do business in Singapore.
