According to the Companies Act, every company that is registered in Singapore must have at least one director who is locally resident (Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident or Entre Pass holder) in Singapore. If a foreigner incorporates a company in Singapore but does not have a local person who can act as a resident director of the new company, then the foreigner can “hire” a person to act as a director for a fee. Such a director is called a Nominee Director.

We can help you meet the requirement by appointing a qualified person to act as your company’s director in all statutory records, on a short-term or annual basis. Our Nominee director service includes:

• Permanent nominee directors for Singapore companies
• Temporary nominee directors for new companies awaiting work visas
