Redomiciliation of a company from Belize to Singapore. Procedure of change of jurisdiction Service offer

The procedure of redomiciliation of a company consists in a change of the country of incorporation while retaining all existing business relations. The national legislation of the country where the company is incorporated as well as its Memorandum and Articles of Association must permit the transfer of the company to another country (not nearly all countries allow redomiciliation).

Compliance of a foreign company with Singapore law

In order to redomicile a foreign company to Singapore it must comply with local legislation of this jurisdiction, namely:

  1. it must be in good standing;
  2. legislation of the company’s country of incorporation must permit redomiciliation from its territory;
  3. the company must have at least one director resident in Singapore and a local secretary;
  4. the company must be assigned a registered address in Singapore (provided by the registered agent);
  5. the company must meet solvency criteria (its assets exceed liabilities, the company is financially able to pay its debts, it has no risk of bankruptcy);
  6. the company must meet two of the three conditions:
    1. proceeds exceed SGD 10 000 000;
    2. assets on the reporting date exceed SGD 10 000 000;
    3. number of employees is over 50.

If the company has subsidiaries, indicators of the group of companies are considered (according to the consolidated financial statements) even if only the parent company is being redomiciled. If the redomiciled company is a subsidiary, only its indicators are considered (financial statements of only one company are provided).

If a redomiciliation application is filed by both parent company and subsidiary simultaneously, the parent company’s application is considered first, then the subsidiary’s application.
