About the Singapore passport

At #3 globally out of 200 ranked passports, the Singapore passport puts holders ahead of 99% of the world. Alongside Belgium and Denmark, it sits among the world's strongest travel documents. Singapore citizenship is inheritable across generations, meaning children born to Singapore citizens abroad may be eligible to claim citizenship by descent.

Passport context

Singapore applies a top marginal income tax rate of 22% and a capital gains tax rate of Varies. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within Singapore, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in Singapore and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
