FAQs

Here are some common questions we recieve from our customers.
If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Can an EP holder be listed as a director and shareholder?

All visa applications should avoid being listed on the company during the application, unless company incorporated more than 6 months. For new companies, once the company has been incorporated and the corporate bank account opened, once an applicant’s EP is approved they can then be added to the company as a director and shareholder.

Can EP holders own shares in companies (including their own company)?

Yes, EP holders can own 100% of shares in any company including their own (after they have had their EP approved). This includes EP holders who hold secondary directorships via a Letter of Consent.

Can EP holders act as the ACRA local resident director?

Yes, EP holder residing in Singapore can be appointed as a local resident director.

Can EP holders hold more than one directorship?

An EP holder can be appointed a director of a second company. It requires them to apply for a Letter of Consent for Secondary Directorship from secondary company and to satisfy the LOC requirements, namely that there should be a direct ownership between the primary employer and the second company (but does not need to be 100% owned)
