High Living Quality

Singapore is an extremely clean and safe metropolis. Tourists can feel them on the verge of a city in a garden because there is not only free of the garbage but also almost free of violent crimes.

Lower-cost Housing

Although Singapore is tiny, owning a property to call it home is not a stressful task for the local working people. Singapore government provides affordable and quality public housing for its residents (both citizen and PR). Over 80% of Singapore’s resident population is living in the flats of public housing, of which nearly 90% own their homes. As a Permanent Resident in Singapore, you are entitled to buy an affordable second-hand residential flat supposing your income does not exceed a certain amount after becoming the PR for three years. Moreover, the lower stamp duty fee is a privilege to the PR, which is only half of that comparing to a foreigner.

Good Career Outlook

Singapore is a unique brand of high-quality workforces. You can always meet bilingual workers in the workplace. They can fluently write and speak English at work and have a good command of other languages as their mother tongue, which is Malay, Mandarin, different Chinese dialects, and Tamil, depending on their ethical groups. Diversity of talents in foreign languages attracts international corporations, and they find it the best place to set up their regional headquarters in Southeast Asia. In the labor market of 2018, over 80% of labor are working in the service industry. If you are eyeing career prospect, having work experience in a multinational corporation on your CV can outstand yourself in the job market.

Access to Financial Services

Singapore is complying with the highest international standards of the financial regulatory regime, and the global taskforces deem Singapore as a white-listed jurisdiction in international taxation fairness and counter-terrorist financing. So, being a Singapore PR allows you to apply and get a higher priority to borrow various loans from the local and international financial institutions. To further utilize the branding power of Singapore, you can act as the resident director of a Singapore private company to carry on your business and access to corporate financing.
