Beyond Incorporation: Compliance and Banking

Once incorporated, Japanese-owned Singapore companies must maintain ongoing compliance:

  • Annual Return filing with ACRA
  • Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) within 3 months of financial year-end
  • Form C-S/Form C corporate tax filing by 30 November
  • AGM within 18 months of incorporation, then annually

Corporate banking has become more accessible for foreign-owned companies. Digital banks offer remote account opening with approvals in as little as 1 to 3 days, while traditional banks may require more extensive KYC and a longer timeline. Many Japanese founders choose a digital-first banking setup to establish operations quickly, then add a traditional bank relationship as the business scales.

Every Singapore company must appoint at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore.

Can You Incorporate Without Living in Singapore?

Yes. A foreign entrepreneur does not generally need to become a Singapore resident simply to own a Singapore company.

A UAE resident can establish a Singapore Pte Ltd through a registered corporate service provider without necessarily relocating.

The company must still satisfy its local director, registered address and other statutory requirements.

Foreigners who intend to relocate to Singapore and work in their businesses must separately consider the applicable work-pass requirements.
