Foreign investors and the resident director requirement
Foreign investors incorporating in Singapore must appoint a local resident director. We can act as the resident director through our nominee director service.
If you intend to relocate to Singapore to manage the company yourself, you will need to apply for an Employment Pass through the Ministry of Manpower. Once granted, you can act as the local resident director without appointing another one.
Conditions apply. For current requirements, see the Ministry of Manpower at mom.gov.sg.
