Global Investor Programme (GIP)

Introduction & Advantages

The Global Investor Programme (GIP), administered by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), is a Singapore government initiative aimed at eligible global investors seeking to promote business growth and investments in Singapore. This program grants Singapore Permanent Resident status (PR) to qualified applicants, who need to have a substantial business track record and successful entrepreneurial background to qualify.

GIP is a monitored immigration scheme designed to assist entrepreneurs who aspire to secure Singapore PR for themselves and their families, facilitating their investment and business expansion endeavors in Singapore. Importantly, it is currently the only immigration program in Singapore that offers a direct pathway to obtaining permanent residency.
