Move to Singapore.
No capital gains tax.
A pass that leads to PR.

A work pass is tied to genuine employment or business in Singapore rather than to a day count, and it lapses when that employment ends. Permanent residence has no statutory minimum stay, yet the Re-Entry Permit that lets a PR travel is renewed at ICA's discretion and, under the GIP, a 3-year REP requires you or your dependants to have resided in Singapore for more than half the time. For tax you become resident at 183 days in a calendar year or on a pass valid for 1 year or more.

IRAS treats you as resident for a Year of Assessment if you stayed or worked in Singapore for at least 183 days in the previous calendar year; or continuously for 3 consecutive years even if the first or third year is under 183 days; or your employment straddles 2 calendar years and the total stay, counting presence immediately before and after, is at least 183 days (this last test excludes directors, public entertainers and professionals). Foreigners issued a work pass valid for at least 1 year are also treated as resident, reviewed at tax clearance when the job ends.

Yes. An EP, ONE Pass or EntrePass holder earning at least S$6,000 a month can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children under 21 on Dependant's Passes; parents need a Long-Term Visit Pass, which requires the principal to earn at least S$12,000. Under the GIP your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are included in the PR application; older children and parents may apply for a Long Term Visit Pass. Spouses of ONE Pass holders can work on a Letter of Consent.

Yes, but it runs through PR. ICA accepts a citizenship application from anyone who has been a Permanent Resident for at least 2 years and is aged 21 or over (spouse and children under 21 can be included), and processes it within 12 months; the assessment weighs family ties, economic contribution, qualifications, age, length of residency and commitment to sinking roots. Two things to weigh first: Singapore expects new citizens to give up their existing nationality, and ICA's page is explicit that male PRs and citizens — including sons brought in as dependants — carry National Service obligations, with renunciation applications withheld until they are discharged.

Employment Pass: S$105 on application, S$225 per pass on issuance and S$30 per Multiple Journey Visa, paid by the employer. Permanent residence: S$100 per application at submission, then S$20 for the Entry Permit, S$50 for a 5-year Re-Entry Permit and S$50 for the Identity Card. Citizenship: S$100 per application and S$70 for the certificate. Global Investor Programme: a non-refundable application fee of S$20,000 plus the S$10 million, S$25 million or S$200 million investment itself.

Not by law. EP applications are lodged by the employer, or by an employment agent the employer appoints; PR and citizenship applications are made online through Singpass, and ICA states it has no affiliation with, and does not endorse, private immigration consultants. Where a corporate-services firm earns its fee is company incorporation for an EntrePass or Option A GIP business, and a property lawyer for any purchase. Our review makes sure the file is right before anyone lodges it.

Not on a visit pass. MOM's rule is that all foreigners who intend to work in Singapore must hold a valid pass before they start work, and Singapore has no digital-nomad category. The workable structures are a Singapore entity of your employer sponsoring an EP, a ONE Pass on a S$30,000 salary history (which allows work for several companies), or your own Singapore company. On tax, IRAS lists 'you work in Singapore for a foreign employer' as taxable overseas income — remote work performed in Singapore is Singapore-source income at the resident scale, not exempt foreign income.

Getting a Singapore pass, or even PR, does not end tax residency where you came from, and Singapore's 183-day test is only half of the picture. Use the relevant Exit site — see exitglobal.app.
