Frequently Asked Questions

Foreign shareholders and directors generally need to provide identification and supporting KYC documents, depending on their circumstances and the requirements of the incorporation process. Esin also prepares the required company registration documents before submitting the incorporation application.
Can a foreigner own a company in Singapore?
Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can own 100% of a Singapore company, subject to Singapore’s corporate and regulatory requirements. Where needed, Esin can also assist with nominee director services and other incorporation support to help ensure the company meets the relevant compliance requirements.
What support is available after Singapore incorporation?
After incorporation, businesses may require ongoing support with various corporate, accounting, tax, and compliance matters. These may include:

- Tax filings
- Annual returns
- Payroll Registered address services

Esin provides these services as part of its broader immigration and business services.
Can Singapore incorporation be coordinated with immigration applications?
Yes. Overseas entrepreneurs who establish a company in Singapore may also need to consider immigration arrangements for themselves, their employees, or their families.

While Esin can assist with application preparation, documentation, and coordination, the relevant Singapore authorities determine whether an immigration pass or application is approved.
