Residency

Singapore residency routes:

  • Employment Pass (EP) - professionals; merit-based
  • EntrePass - entrepreneurs in specific sectors
  • Global Investor Programme (GIP) - high-investment
  • Dependant's Pass / LTVP - family routes

Routes are competitive and quota-controlled.

Grenada routes:

  • Citizenship by Investment (CBI) via fund contribution or qualifying real-estate investment
  • Standard work permits
  • Family routes

Polish residency routes:

  • Blue Card - high-skilled employees
  • Temporary residence via employment
  • Self-employment / entrepreneur routes
  • Family reunification
  • EU citizen-derivative routes

Permanent residence typically after 5 years.

Company setup

Private Limited (Pte Ltd) is the standard structure. ACRA registration, a local resident director, and a registered office are required. Substance, accounting, and corporate governance standards are real.

Domestic companies and IBCs are common in international structures.

Sp. z o.o. (limited liability) is the standard private entity. Online formation via S24 is possible; otherwise notary registration. Tax registration, VAT, and ZUS (social contributions) follow. CIT and the new estonian-style lump-sum CIT regime may apply.

Banking

Corporate banking has strong KYC and source-of-funds processes; relationship banking is common. Personal banking depends on residency status. Bordercase coordinates introductions through partners.

Banking is selective. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions through current partners.

Personal and corporate banking for residents is widely accessible. Non-resident structures take longer; documentation must be tight. Bordercase coordinates introductions where useful.

Family

Family relocation is well-supported via Dependant's Pass and LTVP routes. Schools (local, private, and international) are widely available; international schools are competitive.

CBI can include qualifying dependents.

Family reunification is supported on most residency routes. International schools (English, German, French) are concentrated in Warsaw, Kraków, and Wrocław.

  • Due diligence has tightened
  • Reputational and revocation risks if information is misrepresented

Risks Bordercase watches for in Poland:
