WhatsApp quoteSingapore company formation takes 1 to 3 working days (Monday to Friday) once paperwork are in order, and GoldenKey coordinates the local agents, documents and bank introductions from Ajman. As we tell every client, the tax position in Singapore is clear: 17% headline corporate tax with partial exemptions for new companies, no capital gains tax and no dividend withholding tax. the UAE has become the principal international business hub for Russian-speaking entrepreneurs relocating operations abroad, which gives Russian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Singapore licence is granted. Crucially, for Russian founders, the UAE is around 5 to 6 hours from Moscow from Moscow, the UAE is 1 hour ahead of Moscow, and Russian-speaking consultants, bankers and lawyers are now easy to find in Dubai.
Why Singapore
Put simply, 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. GoldenKey works with licensed corporate service providers in Singapore and remains your single point of contact throughout. Russian applicants benefit from the fact that Singapore already has many Russian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Russia papers and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How does Singapore compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey in most cases 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?
For most clients, 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.
Do Russians need a UAE visa before applying for Singapore?
No. You can apply for the licence from Russia with scanned papers, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
Can a Russian citizen own 100% of a company in Singapore?
Yes, it can. Russians can own the full share capital of a Singapore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
