Best for: Short stays for nomads with day-rates that absorb the cost.

Singapore is the most expensive city on the dataset and there's no nomad route — the long-stay paths are aimed at corporate hires (Employment Pass), founders (EntrePass), or the global elite (ONE Pass, $30k/mo income). Most nomads use it as a 1–2 week transit stop with great food and infrastructure. As a base, only the income-test paths make sense.

Visa story

Tourist 30-90 days; ONE Pass / EntrePass for high-skill long-stay.

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
