From your US home to the Lion City, GRC handles every detail of your move to Singapore.
Singapore is incredibly efficient — setting up banking, utilities, and even furniture delivery can happen within days. But housing goes fast, so start your search well before you arrive.
Singapore is a global city-state that runs like clockwork. Safe, clean, multicultural, and strategically located in Southeast Asia, it's one of the world's premier destinations for international professionals.
Excellent healthcare system — ranked among the world's best. Public hospitals are affordable and high quality. Most expats also carry private insurance through their employer.
One of Asia's most expensive cities — housing is the biggest cost. But food is amazingly affordable at hawker centers (SGD $3–5 per meal). No tipping culture. Low income taxes.
World-class MRT (metro) and bus system — clean, cheap, and efficient. Taxis and Grab (ride-hailing) are abundant. Car ownership is deliberately expensive (COE system costs SGD $100,000+).
A melting pot of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Western cultures. Food is the national obsession — hawker centers are UNESCO-recognized. Singapore is orderly, rules-oriented, and incredibly safe.
Outstanding education system — consistently ranks at the top globally. International schools (Singapore American School, UWC, Tanglin Trust) are popular with expats but expensive.
Get your Employment Pass card. Open a bank account (DBS, OCBC, UOB). Get a local SIM card (Singtel, StarHub, M1). Download the Grab app for transport. Explore the hawker centers — that's where the real food is.
Singapore sits just north of the equator — it's hot and humid year-round. No seasons, just rain and sunshine (sometimes at the same time). Air conditioning is your best friend.
Singapore is compact (smaller than NYC) but has distinct neighborhoods. Here's where American expats tend to settle.
Relaxed, expat-friendly area with restaurants, shops, and a village atmosphere. Close to international schools and green spaces. Very popular with families.
Upscale, green residential area near nature reserves and top international schools (Singapore American School). Popular with American families.
Beachfront living with a more relaxed vibe. East Coast Park for cycling and dining. Marine Parade and Katong offer great local food and culture.
Central, convenient location near shopping and entertainment. High-rise condo living with pools and gyms. Easy access to everything.
Singapore's hipster neighborhood — Art Deco architecture, independent cafés, and a wet market. Walkable, charming, and full of local character.
Exclusive waterfront community on Sentosa Island. Marina, beaches, and resort living. Premium pricing but a unique lifestyle within Singapore.
Whether you're moving for work, family or a fresh start, GRC manages the logistics so you can focus on your new life in Singapore.
Full-service packing, crating, and shipping of your personal belongings and furniture by ocean or air freight — door to door from the U.S. to Singapore.
Singapore customs is efficient and straightforward. Household goods are generally duty-free for personal use. You'll need your Employment Pass, passport, and a detailed inventory.
Your shipment is delivered to your new Singapore address, with unpacking and furniture assembly services available on request.
GRC's concierge services help with the transition — from navigating local processes to settling into your new community. Concierge available in NY, NJ & CT with other locations case by case.
