There is no limit on the maximum number of directors, although a maximum number is usually stated in the Constitution of the Company.

Yes, it is necessary for a Singapore company to have at least one director who is a local resident. In order to qualify as a local resident of Singapore, the individual has to be a Singapore citizen, a Singapore permanent resident or an Employment Pass holder (the employment pass must be from the same company where the individual wants to be a director). Furthermore, the local director must be a natural person above the age of 18 years and not a corporate entity.
​
Foreign companies or entrepreneurs who wish to incorporate and operate a Singapore company can either A) have a foreign executive relocate to Singapore to act as the resident director (subject to the approval of their work pass); or B) use the nominee director service of a corporate services firm to meet the resident director requirement.
05/
What is the procedure for registering a Singapore company?
Company registration procedure in Singapore consists of two simple steps:
A) Company Name Reservation
Before registering a new company in Singapore, the company name must be reserved. Therefore, an application to reserve your proposed company name must be filed first. If the proposed company name does not conflict with any existing names and does not fall into the category of undesirable names, it should take only 10-15 minutes to get the company name approval. Once approved, the name will be reserved for you for 60 days from the date of approval.
B) Incorporation of the Company
The online application to register a company can be filed after approval of the company name has been obtained. The following information must be provided as part of the application:
-
Details of business activities
-
Details of the shareholder(s) and the shares issued to them
-
Details of the company director(s)
-
Details of company secretary
-
Details of registered office
-
Signed Constitution of the Company
If you use a professional services firm, the firm can assist in ensuring that the information in your application is accurate and complete. If everything is in order, the incorporation application will be processed within a few minutes and you will receive a notice of incorporation via email. Note that the incorporation approval can take longer if the application is referred for additional review by the company registrar.
06/
Can a foreigner incorporate a Singapore company himself?
Unfortunately, that is not possible. The Singapore Company Law requires that all foreigners must engage the services of a licensed corporate service provider for this purpose.
07/
Does a foreigner need to visit Singapore to establish a company?
No, you do not have to be physically present in Singapore to setup a company. All incorporation related paperwork can be executed online without your physical presence in Singapore. However, as part of the KYC procedures, the bank authorities may require an interview with one or more of the key persons of the company. This may necessitate a visit to Singapore to open the bank account.
