Is it necessary to have a Nominee Director in Singapore?

Not always, and we’ll help you determine this clearly.

Singapore law requires every private limited company to have at least one director who is based in Singapore.

If you or someone in your team already lives in Singapore, there’s no need for a Nominee Director.

However, if your company does not have a Singapore resident director, a Nominee Director is required. In such cases, the Nominee Director must be provided through a licensed Corporate Service Provider (CSP).

Statrys’ Nominee Director service offers a simple and compliant solution, allowing you to incorporate and operate your Singapore company smoothly. Our Nominee Director is appointed purely for regulatory purposes and does not take part in daily operations, management decisions, or banking activities.
