Recently, WorldWay Immigration Agency has learned that the costs for Singapore investment immigration will significantly increase, and the processing procedures may become stricter.
It is expected that starting from January 1, 2011, the investment amount for Singapore investment immigration may increase from 150 thousand to 250 thousand Singapore dollars. In addition, there may be some restrictions in the immigration investment industry, but the quota for Singapore investment immigration will not decrease. According to analysis by WorldWay immigration experts, the reason for the increase in Singapore investment immigration policies is mainly due to the increase in applicants since 2009, which has directly led to a significant slowdown in the processing speed of cases by the Singapore immigration department.
Categories of Singapore Investment Immigration
In recent years, Singapore investment immigration has been gaining popularity domestically. Currently, there are a total of 4 categories of investment immigration projects in Singapore: 100 thousand Singapore dollars project, 150 thousand Singapore dollars project, 200 thousand Singapore dollars project, and 500 thousand Singapore dollars investment in financial products. The application conditions for the first three projects require entrepreneurs to have more than three years of shareholder status, among which the 100 thousand Singapore dollars project is suitable for business people who wish to establish new enterprises or invest in existing enterprises in Singapore; the 150 thousand Singapore dollars project involves purchasing government-approved closed-end funds, suitable for business people who wish to obtain Singapore residency while still focusing their business in China; the 200 thousand Singapore dollars project involves purchasing government-approved funds with 100 thousand Singapore dollars or purchasing real estate for those interested in property investment in Singapore; the 500 thousand Singapore dollars investment in financial products requires applicants to have a net worth of 2000 thousand Singapore dollars, suitable for high-net-worth individuals who prioritize asset security without management experience. Additionally, the 500 thousand Singapore dollars project requires 200 thousand Singapore dollars to invest in Singapore real estate and 300 thousand Singapore dollars in financial products, suitable for high-net-worth individuals interested in investing in Singapore real estate and prioritizing asset security.
Choosing Safe Funds for Investment Immigration Provides Assurance
Based on past experience, among the four projects mentioned above, the 150 thousand Singapore dollars project has the most applicants. Compared to other projects, applicants for this project do not need to manage investment matters, and the application speed is relatively fast.
150 thousand Singapore dollars project involves purchasing government-approved closed-end funds. Since the Singapore startup fund includes companies listed locally through restructuring investments, or 50% of assets invested in companies listed overseas, most of these companies are public companies, which are relatively transparent in their operations and introduce shareholders to participate in company decisions, increasing transparency and public acceptance. Most of these companies were bankrupt before restructuring, and purchasing shares in these companies only requires 40% of the price, and profits will be realized one to two years after the company is listed. If the company cannot be listed, the investment amount will be converted into a loan, and the applicant will not incur losses, so the 150 thousand Singapore dollars project is relatively secure.
Currently, there are more than a dozen startup funds approved by the Singapore government, and all funds are relatively safe. Among these funds, the annual return rate is between 3.6%—29.5%.
Here, WorldWay Immigration Agency reminds successful individuals interested in immigrating to Singapore that the price increase for Singapore investment immigration is imminent. If you need to apply, please act quickly. At the same time, to ensure the safety of your funds and the success rate of your application, please be sure to choose a legitimate licensed immigration agency for processing.
