Rikvin states that the eligibility requirements include the substantial experience in the field of expertise, established reputation both at the home country and abroad, and having formal training in the field of specialty.

In option A, the investors shall pour in at least S$2.5 million in business entity or expansion of an existing business. The authorities will also require a business proposal or investment plan.
Another option is to invest a similar amount in any GIP-approved fund. Its eligibility requirement is to have a minimum of 3 years of business or entrepreneurial record or a 10-year experience of being a chairman, CEO, CFO, and CTO in a company earning S$100 million in the last 10 years.
Finally, the FIP requires an investment worth S$10 million in a financial institution approved by Monetary Authority of Singapore.
