Short answer: Singapore’s Global Investor Programme (GIP) is for applicants with a successful business and investment track record who invest in approved Singapore businesses or funds and meet turnover and shareholding history tests. The outcome assessed is permanent residence. Thresholds are high; it is not a simple deposit product.
