As a Singapore resident, you may not require our nominee director/ work pass application services. - Incorporation for Foreigners:
As a foreign entrepreneur, you are required to appoint a director who is an “ordinarily resident” in Singapore, to incorporate the company. Alternatively, you may apply for an Employment Pass under MOM’s EntrePass scheme. 100% foreign shareholding is allowed. Foreigner directors can choose to run remotely without relocating to Singapore. - Incorporation for Foreign Companies:
For foreign companies that want to establish a presence in Singapore, you can choose to set up a Subsidiary Company, Branch Office or a Representative Office in Singapore.
