GIP Option A — Business Investment SGD 10,000,000
Option A requires the applicant to invest at least SGD 10,000,000 in a new business entity or expand an existing Singapore-based business in a key strategic sector. The investor must hold a substantial equity stake and take an active management role in the business.
To qualify for re-entry permit renewal after the initial five-year period, the investor must hire at least 30 employees, of whom at least half must be Singaporean citizens, and at least 10 must be new hires if the business was already in existence.
Applicants must also have a strong track record as a founder or key executive of a company with annual revenue of at least SGD 200,000,000 in the last 3 years.
GIP Option B — GIP Fund Investment SGD 10,000,000
Option B allows investors to invest SGD 25,000,000 in a GIP-approved fund that invests in Singapore-based companies. This is an attractive option for investors who prefer a managed, passive investment approach rather than direct business ownership.
GIP-approved funds are carefully vetted by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and must maintain a significant portion of their portfolio invested in Singapore-based companies.
Applicants must still demonstrate a strong business background as a founder or senior executive of a qualifying company, but do not need to actively manage a business in Singapore.
GIP Option C — Single Family Office SGD 50M AUM
Option C is designed for ultra-high-net-worth individuals who wish to establish a Single Family Office (SFO) in Singapore. The SFO must manage assets under management (AUM) of at least SGD 200,000,000, with a minimum of SGD 50,000,000 deployed and maintained throughout the five-year residence period in qualifying Singapore-based investments.
To qualify for re-entry permit renewal at the end of the five-year period, the SFO must hire at least 5 incremental family office professionals, of whom at least 3 must be Singaporean citizens.
Qualifying Singapore investments include listed companies, qualifying debt securities, funds distributed by Singapore-licensed managers, and private equity injections into non-listed Singapore-based businesses.
