hnwi.sg — The HNWI landing handbook for Singapore
hnwi.sg is the scenario-driven landing handbook in the wealth cluster of the Xiaopoxian knowledge network. It follows the order in which a high-net-worth family deals with a move to Singapore: choosing a residency route (EP, ONE Pass, PR, GIP and dependants' passes), planning the landing timeline, opening personal bank accounts, establishing tax residence, arranging housing and schooling, putting medical cover in place, building a family insurance portfolio and keeping residency, tax and policies in order through an annual compliance calendar. Every threshold, date and fee is tied to an institution, a document and a check date.
What this site does not do: it is not an immigration agent, licensed employment agency, law firm, bank or insurer. It files no applications, recommends no school, property, bank or insurance product, promises no pass, PR or account approval, and gives no tax advice.
