XINYUE / RESIDENCY & INTERNATIONAL PLANNING
Residency choices shaped around your work and family.
Residency planning connects where you work, how you live, how your family joins you and what comes next. With Singapore at the centre, we consider work passes, PR, citizenship, tax residency and international pathways separately, then bring the relevant workstreams into one plan.
Cross-cultural understanding. Consistent local support.
Founded in 2019, XinYue Wealth brings together Chinese and Singaporean perspectives. Client communication, project and document coordination, local support and professional collaboration contribute to one shared plan, with clear roles and continuing follow-up.
Employment Pass: a core business and talent pathway
For employers hiring professionals or managers, and business owners with genuine operating needs, we organise employer, role, experience, remuneration and business information. Preparation is assessed against current MOM requirements, including COMPASS where applicable. An owner-employed EP still requires a genuine company and role meeting the rules; it is not a separate guaranteed category. XinYue coordinates documentation, professional application support and arrival planning.
Outputs can include an EP documentation gap list, role and company brief, and application and arrival tasks.
Owner-employed EP
Often marketed as a self-employed EP, this is an Employment Pass application through the owner’s Singapore company as employer. Begin with genuine business purposes, a real role and sustainable remuneration; incorporation does not itself confer a pass.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review job responsibilities, qualifications, proposed salary, business activities and operating evidence. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Application preparation
We organise experience, qualifications, duties and business documentation, coordinating applicable eligibility assessment, application support and follow-up. Personal, company, banking and operating information should be consistent.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning job responsibilities, qualifications, proposed salary, business activities and operating evidence are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Operations and renewal
Connect arrival, pass issuance, dependants and actual operations. Maintain remuneration, financial and business records and reassess current requirements before renewal.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to job responsibilities, qualifications, proposed salary, business activities and operating evidence feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your job responsibilities, qualifications, proposed salary, business activities and operating evidence, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.
Dependant arrangements & family timing
A principal applicant’s work plans should be considered alongside a spouse’s and children’s residence and schooling. We organise relevant dependant pathways, relationship documents, school timing and arrivals, with eligibility checked for each family member.
Outputs can include a family-member task list, documents and a coordinated school and relocation timeline.
Spouse and child records
Organise relationships, identity, birth and marriage records, then coordinate relevant pathways. Residence, work and study permissions are assessed separately.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review family relationships, ages, arrival dates, schooling and housing. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Passes and schooling
Align principal-applicant progress and school windows. A dependant pass is not a government-school offer; the relevant admissions process still applies.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning family relationships, ages, arrival dates, schooling and housing are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Arrivals and changes
Coordinate housing, school communication and practical support before arrival, reviewing linked tasks when family or principal-applicant circumstances change.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to family relationships, ages, arrival dates, schooling and housing feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your family relationships, ages, arrival dates, schooling and housing, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.
PR & citizenship preparation
Permanent residence and citizenship call for a considered view of family, work, residence and long-term plans. We help organise personal circumstances and official documentation, coordinating translations, checks and application preparation. Family obligations and the implications of status changes are identified for further review. ICA decides applications on their individual merits.
Outputs can include a personal brief, official document checklist and long-term planning questions.
Preparation
Organise family, work, residence and supporting information against the current ICA checklist, identifying missing, translation and certification needs.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review family and employment history, residence records, prior applications and verifiable contributions. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Application consistency
Check background, dates, relationships and corporate information. Coordinate preparation and document versions for official submission and subsequent requests.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning family and employment history, residence records, prior applications and verifiable contributions are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Long-term implications
Discuss citizenship, existing nationality, dependants and potential long-term obligations separately, with relevant professional review. PR preparation does not predict citizenship outcomes.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to family and employment history, residence records, prior applications and verifiable contributions feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your family and employment history, residence records, prior applications and verifiable contributions, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.
Tax residency & CRS consistency
Immigration status, nationality and tax residency are distinct. We organise actual residence, work, family ties and account information for review by tax advisers in the relevant jurisdictions. CRS planning centres on accurate identification, truthful self-certification and updates; a passport does not replace a tax-residency assessment.
Outputs can include a residence and work factsheet, questions for advisers and an account-information update list.
Residence facts
Record days present, work locations, family and economic ties for advisers to assess residence and treaty issues.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review each member’s residence, work, family and economic ties, account certifications and tax records. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Status and tax separately
A passport, PR or pass is an immigration record. Tax residency depends on facts and applicable rules, not one document alone.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning each member’s residence, work, family and economic ties, account certifications and tax records are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Account updates
Track changes in tax identifiers, addresses and self-certifications, coordinating updates with bank, trust and other account contacts.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to each member’s residence, work, family and economic ties, account certifications and tax records feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your each member’s residence, work, family and economic ties, account certifications and tax records, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.
International residence & citizenship pathways
For international mobility, an alternative family base or long-term status planning, we coordinate specialists for Türkiye and other jurisdictions. We compare residence with citizenship, family coverage, physical-presence requirements, funding and documentation, then verify current rules and individual suitability for the chosen country.
Outputs can include a goals and pathways comparison, family coverage and verification checklist.
International objectives
Distinguish travel, residence, education and long-term nationality goals, comparing family needs before country-specific routes such as Türkiye.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review genuine residence objectives, family members, budget, travel needs and long-term arrangements. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Country and provider checks
Verify current eligibility, funding, presence, family coverage and procedural requirements, clarifying local professionals, documentation and scope.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning genuine residence objectives, family members, budget, travel needs and long-term arrangements are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Home-country implications
Include home-country travel, tax, assets and family circumstances. Relevant legal and tax professionals assess cross-border implications.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to genuine residence objectives, family members, budget, travel needs and long-term arrangements feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your genuine residence objectives, family members, budget, travel needs and long-term arrangements, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.
Global Investor Programme (GIP)
Administered by EDB, GIP is a permanent-residence pathway for eligible global investors. It differs from an EP through a company and calls for assessment of business history, investment objectives and long-term family plans.
Profile and objectives
Organise entrepreneurial history, business scale, ownership, family and funding background for assessment under current EDB criteria.
For the initial assessment
For this step, we review business track record, ownership, investment capacity and family plans. We distinguish confirmed facts, missing evidence and questions requiring professional assessment. Start with available records; we then build a staged checklist around the actual route.
Investment pathways
Consider business investment, selected funds or a single-family-office route against current EDB factsheets and official lists.
During coordination
Before proceeding, clarify scope, the basis of fees, responsible contacts and document handover. Updates concerning business track record, ownership, investment capacity and family plans are recorded with changes and outstanding questions so clients and providers use consistent information.
Life and continuing requirements
Connect investment, actual residence, family education, accounts and continuing conditions. Investment decisions and application outcomes are assessed separately.
Handover and next steps
At completion, we organise confirmations, outstanding tasks and subsequent milestones within the agreed scope. Changes relating to business track record, ownership, investment capacity and family plans feed into the next stage. Approvals, admission, products and professional conclusions remain subject to the relevant institution and applicable requirements.
What becomes clearer at this stage?
Using your business track record, ownership, investment capacity and family plans, we bring goals, possible routes, evidence gaps and next-step owners into one action list. Within the agreed scope, we coordinate progress so you know where matters stand and whose input is needed next.

Preparation and common questions
How should a business owner prepare for an EP through their company?
Prepare evidence of genuine business activity, the proposed role and responsibilities, qualifications, salary arrangements and company operations. Check the MOM eligibility and assessment requirements applicable when applying. Share ownership alone does not establish EP eligibility; review business readiness and pass requirements separately.
Do an EP, a family pass and PR provide the same assurance?
No. An EP is an employment pass, family passes have their own conditions, and PR involves a separate application and assessment. Review applicants, eligibility, documents and family timing individually. Approval is not automatic, and school admission needs separate planning.
What information helps with an initial residency-planning enquiry?
Outline your proposed work or business in Singapore, current role and experience, existing company situation, family relocation needs and target timing. XinYue helps organise questions, document priorities and professional coordination. Salary thresholds, assessment rules and documentation follow the current MOM or ICA requirements.
