Singapore emerges as top destination relocation in SEA

The city-state ranks 8th globally.

Singapore has stood out as the most desired market for relocation in Southeast Asia (SEA), according to a SEEK report.

The report found that 30% of Malaysians prefer working in Singapore, driven by its reputation as a multicultural business hub. Globally, Singapore ranks as the 8th most sought-after destination for career opportunities.

However, the rise of ‘virtual mobility’ has seen significant growth.

Locally, more than six in 10 (66%) Singaporeans cite the inability to relocate with family members as the top barrier to moving abroad for work

Moreover, 80% of job seekers from Singapore expect relocation assistance, including help with visas, work permits and housing arrangements, well above the regional average of 74%.

Additionally, 84% of Singaporean talent expect housing assistance, higher than the global average of 69%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
