Popular places in the city
The Boomarang bistro and bar is close to Singapore’s nightlife. Robertson Quay, which is right next to Clarke Quay, has not only the best restaurants but also the best bars. Not only are they great places to have a party, but they also allow pets. This trait is hard to find in Singapore.
Tax Singapore
People won’t have to pay taxes on income that comes from outside of Singapore. The government does not have a tax on capital gains or a single tax rate. The goal of this tax structure is to get people to invest. Personal income tax doesn’t apply to people who work on the island for less than 60 days. People who work between 61 and 183 days are taxed at a rate that is higher than 15% or the resident tax rate.
Customs
Goods and Services Tax will be paid when personal and household items are brought into Singapore (GST). People must fill out a Customs-in-payment (GST) form to keep track of the goods they bring into the country and pay GST. GST relief may be eligible to foreigners transferring residence or migrating to Singapore.

What are my Shipping Options?
After looking at your budget and how long you have to move to Singapore, we will suggest the best way to get there. We offer the following moving services into Singapore at the moment:
Air freight
Groupage / Shared Shipments
LCL (Less than Container Load)
FCL (Full Container Load)
Air Freight
Most airfreight shipments are picked up and moved within 48 hours of being packed. The flight takes less than a day, but getting through Singapore’s customs could take up to 4 days. For fast shipping when price is not the most important thing.
LCL Shipments
Less than container load is what LCL stands for. This is the best way to ship your goods if it costs less than getting a quote for a full container and you don’t have time to wait for us to fill a groupage container. After your goods are packed up at your home, they will be sent to the warehouse of the consolidators to be shipped out.
FCL Shipments
Full Container Load is what FCL stands for. When we know that your goods will fill more than half of the container, it is often cheaper to book the whole container. This method of shipping has the fewest middlemen, which makes the supply chain easier to control. This also means that your goods are less likely to get damaged.
Groupage Shipping
Small shipments to Singapore can be sent for the least amount of money through groupage shipping. Your items are packed and kept in our warehouse until we have enough to ship in a shared container.
