      Director and Local Director

      All Singaporean incorporated companies must have at least one resident director on their company’s board at all times, including at the date of incorporation, for compliance purposes.

      Who can be a director?
      In order to be a director in Singapore, you need to be:

      • Over 18 years old
      • A Singapore Citizen, Singapore Permanent Resident or EntrePass holder. 
        [A director may also be an Employment Pass (EP) holder.]

        How many directors do I need?
        Singapore requires a minimum of one “locally resident” director.
