As one of the developed countries in Asia, Singapore has always been recognized as a global business center with developed infrastructure and open business policies. The following are the reasons for emigrating to Singapore. Welcome to read!

Article 1 Reasons for emigrating to Singapore

I. Education For students, Singapore is famous for its strong educational strength.

At present, there are five public universities-National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore University of Science and Technology Design (SUTD) and Singapore Institute of Technology.

There are also many local and international colleges: INSEAD and other business schools; Colleges such as La Salle Art Institute and Nanyang Art Institute (NAFA) mainly provide professional education in art; Dijipeng Institute of Technology focuses on providing world-class science and technology education.

In addition, there are more than 300 private colleges to choose from in Singapore. Private schools offer a variety of courses, including language courses and professional courses. When choosing a private college, we must make sure whether it has the corresponding qualifications.

Note: The Private Education Committee is a statutory body established according to the Private Education Law, and has the legislative power to manage the private education industry. In addition to being the manager of private educational institutions, the Council also strives to promote the development of the industry and improve the level of private educational institutions.

Second, housing, medical care and taxation.

Singapore has a small land and a large population, and its population density is higher than that of Hong Kong, so house prices are naturally high. As a foreigner, buying a house in Singapore is quite expensive.

Housing in Singapore is guaranteed because the Singapore government announced the implementation of the "Home Ownership Scheme" from 1964, building houses and selling them to local residents at low prices. Today, more than 80% Singaporeans live in residential areas built by the government, which also have perfect public service facilities and places for entertainment and leisure activities.

With a sound provident fund system, most local families in Singapore can buy a house without parental support. Apartments bought by local families at low prices can also be sold at high prices to earn income. Of course, if you are not the first group of flat families, you can no longer enjoy various subsidies.

More than 400,000 people go to Singapore for medical consultation every year. In order to provide comprehensive and thoughtful medical services for patients at reasonable cost, Singapore has established a set of perfect medical and health care mechanisms.

According to the central provident fund system, Singapore citizens and permanent residents are entitled to medical insurance jointly paid by their employers.

18 government general clinics, more than 2,000 general practitioners (GPs), 7 public hospitals, 6 specialized medical centers, and a number of private hospitals and specialized clinics are all located in such a small city country, so there is no need to worry about encountering the same medical difficulties as China.

Working in Singapore, of course, also needs to pay taxes. However, because Singapore's tax system has always been relatively clear and competitive in developed countries, it has attracted the attention of many foreign investors.

Taxpayers have the right to enjoy personal income tax relief for child support, vocational training fees, insurance premiums and contributions from the Central Provident Fund. Tax-free residents who have been employed in Singapore for no more than 60 days in a calendar year may also be exempted from personal income tax.

Except for personal income tax relief, the personal income tax rate remains between 0-22%.

Chapter II Patterns of Immigration in Singapore

First, invest in immigration.

In order to attract investors from all over the world to develop locally, Singapore has established the Global Business Investor Program, through which investors who are interested in starting a business or investing in Singapore can apply for permanent residency (PR). Investment immigration has a short application time, which is the fastest and most direct permanent immigration method at present. There are two schemes, both of which must meet the basic application qualifications.

Scheme B: Invest at least S $2.5 million (about HK$ 65,438+HK$ 4.3 million) in a fund of the Global Business Investor Program (GIP).

Second, entrepreneurial immigrants.

Applicants who want to start a business in Singapore can apply for EntrePass entry visas for entrepreneurs of all nationalities. Applicants must be over 2 1 year old, have started or intend to register a private limited company in Singapore, must meet any of the following innovation standards, and apply as entrepreneurs, innovators or investors. Applicants don't need to meet all the requirements of each profile or type, but having more qualifications will help. You can apply for a permanent visa after living for 24 months. In addition, after certain conditions are met, the applicant can apply for family permission for his spouse and children under 2 1 year, or apply for PR after 1 year, or bring his family members to apply for PR.

Third, skilled immigrants.

Skilled immigrants who hold work visas and are employed by local companies can apply for permanent residency in Singapore after obtaining employment permits. Work visas are divided into three categories, among which the success rate of middle and senior managers and senior technicians is higher.
