WhatsApp quoteMany of our clients 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. GoldenKey helps UAE residents and international company owners register a Private Limited Company (Pte. Ltd.) in Singapore through the ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority). As we tell every client, for Vietnamese founders, the UAE is around 7.5 hours from Hanoi, 3 hours ahead of the UAE, and English is the working language. Vietnamese nationals are a young community in trading, IT outsourcing and hospitality, so the Singapore authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Vietnamese applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Singapore
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. Crucially, vietnamese applicants benefit from the fact that Singapore already has many Vietnamese shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Vietnam paperwork and name formats instantly.
How Singapore works with GoldenKey
Step 1Structure and name check
We confirm the activity, shareholders and name availability with the ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority). This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals.
Step 2KYC and documents
To be clear, you provide passports, proof of address and the information required by the Singapore registrar; GoldenKey prepares the forms.
Step 3Incorporation
Our Singapore partner files the incorporation and the registrar issues the certificate, as a rule within 1 to 3 working days once supporting documents are in order. We keep a written record of this step so your file for a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals is audit-ready.
Step 4Banking and compliance
GoldenKey arranges bank introductions in Singapore and diarises the annual compliance filings.
Documents required
As a rule, gather these paperwork and GoldenKey will take care of the rest of a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals.
- Passport copies
- A bank statement from your Vietnam bank for the last three months, which banks use to understand your profile
- Proof of address
- A passport issued by Vietnam with at least six months' validity
- Educational certificates attested by the Vietnam authorities and the UAE embassy, for professional activities
- Bank reference

Why the UAE
From day one, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals and makes international pricing simple. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international customers and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals.
Why GoldenKey
Our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals happen the same day they are ready. GoldenKey's consultants have handled a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals for traders, consultants, tech business owners and family offices, which gives us a realistic view of what each authority approves quickly. As we tell every client, if a document is missing or an approval is delayed on your Singapore file, we tell you immediately and explain the fix, rather than letting the submission sit.
Just as important, tell us about your plans for a Singapore company for Vietnamese nationals and GoldenKey will come back to you shortly with a clear price, a document checklist and a realistic timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Singapore to incorporate?
Just as important, 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 my UAE company own the Singapore company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
What are the annual obligations for a Singapore company?
In our experience, annual returns, accounts and tax filings vary by jurisdiction; GoldenKey provides a compliance calendar and local accounting support.
Can a Vietnamese citizen own 100% of a company in Singapore?
Yes. Vietnamese nationals can own the full share capital of a Singapore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Vietnamese nationals need a UAE visa before applying for Singapore?
No. You can apply for the licence from Vietnam with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
