Residency By Investment

The Purpose of the Singapore Global Investor Program

The Singapore Global Investor Program (GIP) is an initiative aimed at attracting talented foreign individuals to Singapore for residence and work.
The program reflects the Singaporean government’s vision of encouraging foreign nationals to settle in the country as permanent residents. It targets accomplished entrepreneurs, successful business owners, and senior managers seeking opportunities to contribute to Singapore's dynamic economy.

Opportunities for Wealthy Professionals

Designed for wealthy and experienced professionals, the GIP provides a pathway for individuals looking to establish a business or invest in Singapore.
By doing so, participants play a key role in driving economic growth and innovation while integrating into Singapore’s vibrant community. The program is tailored for those who wish to make Singapore their permanent home.

One of the notable advantages of the GIP is its efficiency in granting Singaporean permanent residence status. Successful applicants typically obtain this status within nine to twelve months, making it an attractive option for those seeking a seamless transition to living and working in Singapore.
