How to Get Singapore Permanent Residence by Investment: Step-by-Step Process
You have to start by filling out the GIP application forms (both online and hardcopy) and sending them to Contact Singapore / EDB. Make sure you include all the required documents because incomplete submissions can delay the process.
After your application is submitted, you will be invited for an interview with the Economic Development Board (EDB). During the interview, they will check your business background, investment plans, and overall suitability for the programme.
If your application meets the criteria, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will issue an Approval-in-Principle (AIP), which is valid for 6 months. This allows you to proceed and make the investment under your chosen option (Option A, B, or C).
You must complete the investment requirement under your selected option within the set time: Provide proof of the investment you made Submit the Investment Undertaking following the terms of your investment. If you chose Option C, you must invest at least SGD 50 million in the specified investments within 12 months from the Final Approval letter.
Once EDB checks and verifies your investment documents, ICA will issue the Final Approval letter. You must formalize your PR status within 12 months of this letter. After that, you will get your Re-Entry Permit (REP), which lets you keep your PR while traveling outside Singapore. Note: The GIP application process usually takes about 12 months, depending on how complete your documents are and the results of the due diligence checks.
The GIP requires a large investment of SGD 10–25 million, depending on the option you choose. This is a big commitment, but it gives you access to Singapore's safe and business-friendly environment.
You need to actively manage or invest in your chosen business, fund, or family office. For example, Option A requires hiring at least 30 employees, with half being Singapore citizens.
You can include your partner and children under 21 in the application. Parents and adult children cannot be included, but can apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass linked to your PR.
Our expert-driven process is faster, easier, and completely hassle-free.
