Why Move to Singapore? 5 Good Reasons for Expatriates

1. Career Choice

If you are searching for career options, Singapore has plenty to offer for medical practitioners. With many more tertiary hospitals of 1,000 beds and more coming up, the medical tourism industry is expected to contribute S4.2 billion to GDP this year.  Singapore provides the complete spectrum of industries from shipping, engineering, IT, banking and finance sectors. In general, pay and conditions are excellent reasons why you should move to Singapore to work.

2. Climate

With a humid and warm climate, Singapore offers a unique climate that is easy to live in throughout the year.

Singapore (much like the rest of South East Asia) is generally hot and humid, with average daytime temperature reaching 30°C that rarely drops below 20°C. The only period the weather seems to be different is during the rainy season which usually happens during the end of the year.

Singapore is the best place to be at if you enjoy the sun and heat. If not, you can always travel to neighbouring countries and have a soak in the sea or lie down on their sunny beaches.

3. Large Expat Population

As Singapore is the major hub for trade and commerce in South East Asia, Singapore is home to expats from all over the world – with large numbers of Aussies, Kiwis and British living on the island.

With English as one of the four official languages, as more private schools and universities from all over the world establish their grounds in Singapore. You will begin to understand why more and more people are choosing to move to Singapore

Most expats would rent serviced apartments in Singapore, but there are other alternatives to serviced apartments that will be mentioned below.

4. Security and Stability

Singapore is ranked as one of the top countries that is politically stable and the safest among all developed nations. With low crime rates, it makes a terrific location to stay in and settle down. The high level of security and stability aids businesses and many expats to settle in easily. When it comes to finding rented apartments in a safe location, Singapore is practically safe throughout the year.

5. Cost of Living

The cost of living in Singapore may seem high at first glance. When you read through information online, it can give you the sense that it is a very expensive location to live in. Although Singapore offers the highest standard of living in South East Asia, it is reasonably priced when you take into account the higher disposable income. And once you are off the beaten tourist pathways, food and clothing prices drops to reasonable levels.
