What are the ways to immigrate to Singapore?

I. Investment Migration (Global Investor Program)

This is the quickest and most direct way. Most people who follow this path will invest in funds set up by the government. However, it should be noted that the investment cost is S $2.5 million, and it is only the basic line. It is possible that the investment of S $2.5 million may not be successful.

Second, the business license

If you plan to do business and start a company in Singapore, you can consider taking this road, but I want to remind you that you must do it seriously. If you set up a shell company just for immigration, the consequences will be very serious. Not only will the immigration plan fail, but you will also bear the corresponding punishment. Another trick is to choose local employees in Singapore as much as possible when choosing employees, so as to create as many local employment opportunities as possible, so that when applying for immigration, the Singapore government will feel that you are really trying to do something for your society.

Third, the work visa.

The third and most people's choice is the work visa, which is the most important way to immigrate. You can get a work visa by joining a company in Singapore, and you can only apply after working for at least half a year. This is also the way that the applicant needs to pay the least.

Singapore's rules and regulations really need to be observed. If you want to summarize the success rate of immigration, you need to prove your value and contribution here through practical actions, and you are willing to work and live here for a long time.

I. Overview

Employment immigration is one of the three main ways of immigration in Singapore, aiming at completing the purpose of immigration by applying for employment permit. Singapore Employment Permit (EP) is a graded work permit issued by the Ministry of Manpower of Singapore. After successfully obtaining the permit, the applicant can further apply for permanent residence in Singapore (PR).

Second, the advantages of employment immigrants

1. The investment is small, only the company is required to operate well, and there is no requirement for registered capital.

2. The approval of employment permit is generally 1-5 years.

3. Family members with employment certificates can directly apply for family certificates. Children can go directly to public primary and secondary schools.

4. Without academic qualifications, young applicants need to have a diploma from an excellent institution. Older candidates must have higher salary and corresponding work experience.

Third, the application conditions for employment immigration

Companies that have been operating normally in Singapore have been hired with a monthly salary of more than 3,300. (You can also start your own company and hire yourself, or buy a company that is already in operation)

Four. Definition of self-employed employment permit

1. If you hold shares in the company and apply for employment permit (EP) as a shareholder of the company, it is defined as self-employed employment permit, and the applicant is the boss of the company.

2. If you don't hold the shareholder status, but apply as a director or employee of the company, it is a general employment permit (EP), and the applicant is an employee of the company. There is no difference between self-employed employment permit (EP) and employment permit (EP), but the role of the applicant in the company is different. Because of the different roles of companies, there will be different approval criteria when applying for permanent residents (PR).

Five, employment immigration approval criteria

Employees: After 12- 14 months of normal work, they can apply to the government for permanent resident (PR) employee employment permit. Whether you can apply for permanent residence in Singapore depends mainly on educational background, license type, salary, time in Singapore, new property, family situation and other factors.

Shareholders: Whether the self-employed employment permit (EP) of the company's shareholders can be approved as permanent residents in Singapore (PR) mainly depends on the applicant's personal conditions, and will also refer to whether the company contributes to Singapore's economy, the provision of staff positions, the payment of provident fund, taxation and other aspects.
