Foreigner Incorporating a Local Company

EntrePass

A foreigner, who is not a Singapore Permanent Resident (PR), may apply for EntrePass from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in order to register a company in Singapore.

A foreigner, who does not apply for EntrePass, may instead appoint a locally resident director to register a company in Singapore and continue to reside outside Singapore. “Locally resident” refers to a person who is a Singapore Citizen, Singapore PR or EntrePass holder, and resides in Singapore.

Please visit MOM website for more information on eligibility and application of EntrePass, or call their hotline at 64385122.

SingPass

An Entrepass holder can apply for a SingPass, a common ID that allows the user to transact with different Government agencies online. Please visit SingPass website for more information on application of SingPass and the services available.

BizFile

All applications to ACRA must be submitted via our online filing and information retrieval system, BizFile. Foreigners are required to login to BizFile using their identification number (FIN No.) and SingPass.
