Overview

Why the SG Global Investor Programme?

The Singapore Global Investor Programme (GIP), managed by the Singapore Economic Development Board, allows qualified high-net-worth investors to apply for Singapore Permanent Residence through major investment routes. Current options include investing at least S$10 million in a new or existing Singapore business, investing S$25 million in a GIP-select fund, or establishing a Singapore-based Single Family Office with at least S$200 million in assets under management.

The programme is designed for experienced entrepreneurs, investors and family office principals with a strong business or investment track record.
