High-Net Worth Individuals
The growth of HNW individuals and ultra-HNW individuals in Asia has far outpaced those in other regions.
There has been keen interest and a steady demand for Singapore citizenship among the large pool of high-net-worth (HNW) Singaporean residents from other countries. This is particularly the case with the rich from Indonesia, India and China, who are seeking alternative citizenship and residence in more tax-efficient jurisdictions.
Singapore introduced schemes such as the Global Investor Programme (GIP), opening itself up to foreign investment.
Singapore does not allow dual citizenship, Â those who become citizens of Singapore must give up previous citizenship.
Global Investor Program
The Global Investor Program (GIP) is a Permanent Residency scheme specially designed for wealthy investors who wish to relocate to Singapore.
Under GIP, foreign nationals can acquire a Permanent Residency (PR) status by investing a minimum of S$2.5 million in Singapore-registered companies or GIP funds that in-turn invest in Singapore companies.
