The Global Investor Program (GIP) offers permanent residency in Singapore for entrepreneurs and investors with proven track records and significant capital.

GIP is managed by Contact Singapore (EDB) and grants PR status to eligible applicants investing SGD 2.5 million or more in local businesses, funds, or family offices.

Applicants must demonstrate business success, a clean record, and a commitment to Singapore’s long-term economy. Family inclusion, tax residency planning, and exit considerations are key aspects.


Unlike golden visas, GIP is tied to Singapore’s strategic economic goals and is highly selective.


FAQs:

Q1: Can family members be included in a GIP application?

A: Yes, spouse and children under 21 are typically eligible.


Q2: Is physical relocation required under GIP?

A: While not strictly enforced, genuine economic presence is expected.


Q3: Can I withdraw or restructure my investment later?  

A: Any changes must be pre-approved to maintain PR validity.
