Despite not having to visit Singapore to complete the share transfer, a copy of the new shareholders identifications documents will be required – this can be submitted electronically.

Appointing the new Directors

The directors must fulfil the following requirements:

  • At least one Director resident in Singapore (i.e. Singapore Citizen, a permanent resident or a person who has been issued an Entrepreneur Pass, Employment Pass or Dependent Pass by Ministry of Manpower is qualified to act as a director).
  • At least 18 years of age
  • Not convicted of specified offences or offences involving fraud or dishonesty punishable with imprisonment for three months or more. (The disqualification is for five years from the date of conviction of the relevant offence, or, where the person has been sent to prison, from the date of release).
  • No maximum limit on the number of local or foreign directors.
  • No requirement for a director to own shares in the company.

Role of Resident Director

The Companies Act requires that every company registered in the city-state appoint at least one director who is ordinarily a resident in Singapore.

We can help you fulfil this requirement by appointing a resident director for your company, on a short-term or annual basis.

In Singapore, a Resident Director has the same obligations and responsibilities as those imposed on a regular director by the Companies Act and the common law.

Most of the company’s powers are vested in the board of directors, who control the company’s affairs and are answerable to the shareholders.

Directors are responsible for the statutory books and filings, accounting records and annual accounts, shareholders and directors meetings and importantly, all directors have a fiduciary duty towards the company.

  • In addition to our Resident Director fee, you will be required to pay a refundable security deposit for the provision of our nominee director service. The security deposit is collected to safeguard the interests of Nominee Director.

Changing the company name
