Introduction to life and food for immigrants in Singapore

# SingaporeIMigration# Introduction Like all Chinese, “eating” is a very important part of Singaporean life.

Singapore also calls itself a "food paradise". In Singapore, you can eat delicious food from all over the world.

The following is the life and diet of immigrants in Singapore compiled by None. Welcome to read!

1. Life and Food of Immigrants in Singapore Of course, the most distinctive thing about Singapore is the food cooked by the locals, including Chinese, Indian and Malay food.

Since the ancestors of the Chinese in Singapore mainly came from China's Fujian (mainly Minnan and Chaoshan areas), Guangdong and Hainan, the Chinese food here is mainly based on dishes from these places, such as Hainanese chicken rice and Yong Tau Fu.

, Char Kway Teow, Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee, etc.

Deeply influenced by the local Malays, Chinese food in Singapore also incorporates some Malay food characteristics, such as the tendency to be spicy and the use of curry.

Singaporeans love spicy food. It is hard to imagine that their ancestors came from southern China, because the impression is that southerners rarely eat spicy food.

Especially in such a tropical country, it is a bit incredible to have to eat something so spicy and heated up.

However, it is a fact that no matter what Singaporeans eat, they always have a plate of pickled chili peppers (dried chili peppers soaked in soy sauce) for dipping.

One is that due to the influence of the Malays and Indians, their food is mainly spicy; the other is that it is good for health because chili peppers will burn off excess fat.

In addition to authentic Singaporean-style Chinese food, with the influx of more and more immigrants from mainland China, we can now also eat food from all over China in Singapore, such as Sichuan hot pot, northern dumplings, Shanghai cuisine, etc., but these

They are not very popular and you need to go to specific restaurants to eat them.

If you are a foodie, you must not miss the opportunity to taste Indian and Malay food in Singapore.

Although they generally look weird, they still have their own unique taste worth trying.

For example, the Malay satay (similar to kebabs, brushed with curry sauce) and Malay fried rice, and the Indian pancakes and mutton soup are all my favorites.

The places where Singaporeans generally eat are called cooked food centers, which are located in various residential areas, commercial centers, subway stations and large shopping malls.

Each cooked food center has many stalls selling different foods, and also provides public tables and chairs for eating, which is a bit like the canteens of large domestic companies or schools.

Basically, the stalls in all cooked food centers are similar, such as Chinese vegetable rice, noodles, Yong Tau Foo, chicken rice, Malay rice, Indian rice, etc.

In particular, every cooked food center must have a beverage seller.

Since the weather is hot, I basically order a drink every time I eat.

It is quite economical to eat at cooked food centers, costing about SGD 3 to 5 per meal.

2. How to apply for Singapore investment immigration Singapore has good economic development momentum, good living environment, and high-quality education. Therefore, more and more successful entrepreneurs are currently moving their goals to Singapore.

However, the financial requirements for Singapore investment immigration application are relatively high. How can I successfully apply?

1. There are three investment methods. According to relevant regulations of the Singapore government, entrepreneurs or shareholders who invest 1.5 million Singapore dollars to purchase fund products from government-designated fund companies can directly apply to become a permanent resident of Singapore.

In addition, entrepreneurs or shareholders can also choose the following methods to make corresponding investments: 1 million Singapore dollars: invest in establishing a new company.

The Singaporean government has implemented a three-year tax exemption system for new companies established between 2005 and 2009, and 9 major industries, including electronics, petrochemicals, logistics and chemicals, have implemented a tax holiday of 5-10 years.

2 million Singapore dollars: 1 million Singapore dollars to buy a fund or start a new company; 1 million Singapore dollars to buy real estate.

The spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 of applicants who meet the above investment requirements can also apply to become Singapore permanent residents (PR).

The applicant's parents and parents-in-law can apply to become Singapore permanent residents as long as they invest an additional S$300,000 each.

2. No immigration supervision and preferential tax rate policies. It is understood that although the financial requirements for investment immigration applications in Singapore are relatively high, the industry is still optimistic about the Singapore project. Compared with the investment immigration policies of Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries, Singapore has its own unique

The advantages.

It is understood that Singapore has no age or academic requirements for immigration applicants, and there is no need to explain the source of funds.

It takes 4 to 6 months to obtain Singapore immigration status, making it one of the fastest countries to process.

At the same time, there is no immigration prison in Singapore, so there is no need to give up domestic business; and the proportion of Chinese is 78%, and Chinese is widely spoken.

More importantly, Singapore has a very favorable tax rate policy. It has signed an investment guarantee agreement with China and is exempt from overseas asset tax.

In order to further attract wealthy people to settle in Singapore, Singapore has also introduced a policy of exempting inheritance tax.
