Singapore Representative Office Setup with Employment Pass

Singapore Representative Office + Employment Pass Application Service

A Representative Office in Singapore is ideal for foreign businesses looking to evaluate opportunities in the Singapore market without engaging in commercial revenue-generating activities. Apexia Corporate Advisory simplifies the entire process, from registration to employment pass applications, ensuring you meet all regulatory requirements for a smooth setup.

Requirements for Setting Up a Representative Office in Singapore

To establish a Representative Office in Singapore, your foreign company must meet the following criteria:

• Sales Turnover: The foreign parent company must have an annual sales turnover of more than US$250,000.
• Company Establishment: The foreign company must have been in business for more than 3 years.
• Staffing: The representative office can have no more than 5 staff members.

Taxation for Singapore Representative Office

A Representative Office in Singapore cannot generate commercial revenue, so it is exempt from filing annual tax returns. However, any income paid to the staff members of the Representative Office, including the Chief Representative, is subject to Singapore personal income tax.

Steps to Set Up Your Singapore Representative Office

1. Register the Representative Office:

   Apexia Corporate Advisory will guide you through the registration process, ensuring that your representative office complies with all Singaporean regulations.

2. Apply for Employment Pass:

   Once the Representative Office is registered, you can apply for an Employment Pass for the Chief Representative, who will relocate to Singapore to manage the office. This pass allows your appointed staff member to live and work in Singapore.

3. Registered Office Address:

   A local registered office address is required for your representative office. Apexia Corporate Advisory can provide you with a corporate registered address on a temporary or long-term basis, as needed.
