WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey helps UAE residents and international founders register a Private Limited Company (Pte. Ltd.) in Singapore through the ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority). Many of our customers add a Singapore entity to their UAE structure because a Singapore holding company above a UAE operating entity is a classic structure for Asia-Gulf groups. As we tell every client, greek shipowners and hospitality groups are deeply connected to the UAE market, which gives Greek entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Singapore licence is issued. In our experience, for Greek founders, the UAE is around 4.5 hours from Athens, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Greece, and English is the business language.
Why Singapore
From day one, documents for Singapore are collected and attested in the UAE where required, so you do not need to travel for incorporation. Importantly, requirements for a Singapore company are at least one resident director (GoldenKey arranges a nominee), a company secretary within six months and a registered Singapore address. Many Greek founders run Singapore companies alongside an existing business in Greece, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
How does Singapore compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey usually recommends the UAE as the operating base and Singapore where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
What are the annual obligations for a Singapore company?
Annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Do I need to travel to Singapore to incorporate?
In most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Singapore require a video or in-person meeting.
Can a Greek citizen own 100% of a company in Singapore?
Yes. Greeks can own the full share capital of a Singapore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Greece and the UAE?
Yes — The UAE and Greece have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
