Relocation to Singapore
Singapore: A Regional Hub for Relocation in Asia
Singapore is a hub for global mobility in the Asia Pacific region, as businesses are building regional headquarters and moving their employees here more than ever before. The country is known for being culturally diverse and welcoming to newcomers. Walking around in the busy city, expatriates will find cuisine of all kinds, reliable public transportation, generally friendly locals, and English being spoken regularly, making relocation to Singapore relatively easy. Finding a home here can prove to be the toughest part of moving to Singapore.
Because Singapore is growing but is still smaller in size, the housing supply remains competitive. Expatriates and their companies can trust Dwellworks Destination Consultants and our network of reliable real estate partners across Singapore to find the right home for them. Both parties will accompany expatriates on all rental viewings; and once a home is found, our Consultants assist with other tasks to make the move-in complete. Working with Dwellworks is a one-stop-shop to help assignees get their Foreign Identification Number, set up banking, take the theory test for a driver’s license, and prep their children to take an Admissions Exercise for admission to international schools.
Area Orientation: Every employee wants to know more about the place they are moving to, whether it’s previewing neighborhood rental options, calculating commute times, or understanding the available community activities and hot spots. Our Destination Consultants always start the service experience with “How can I help?” and then put their local expertise to work with information, exploration, and guidance that aligns with your employee’s priorities.
Rental Home Finding Assistance: Our Consultants are experts in matching property solutions to employee budgets, requirements, and expectations, and are also a resource for understanding local leasing practices and landlord processes. After sourcing suitable housing, scheduling viewing appointments, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of possible options, our Consultants help employees submit rental applications to give them the best chance of being selected as the preferred tenant.
Settling-in Services: Our Destination Consultants guide the employee through the full settling-in process, including support with key services like social insurance registration, banking services introductions, driver’s license application, and health care guidance. If the family has children, we also assist with school explanations, registration, and tours.
Departure services: Clients authorize this service when they are looking for end-of-assignment support for their employees. Our Destination Consultants advise on rental property termination, final property inspections, and the steps employees should follow to ensure a successful refund of their security deposit.
We check-in with the employee throughout their destination services experience via system-generated Pulse Checks to ensure we are meeting their expectations – and can quickly course-correct if needed. It is important to us that we provide exceptional service at all times. Visit our Destination Services page to learn about our end-to-end solutions and support.
Happy Customers
We are proud to earn the respect and admiration of the employees we assist. Here is some of our favourite feedback received from satisfied employees:
Our Local Experts Cover All of Singapore
Dwellworks pairs each relocating employee with an empathetic and experienced Destination Consultant who lives in or near the employee’s new city and knows everything there is to know about that destination location – or knows where to find the answer. Our local experts are also well-versed in the nuances of the relocation process; many of them have been through the moving experience themselves.
Using our online service platform called myDwellworks®, our local Consultant connects with the employee long before their arrival in Singapore to establish a relationship, understand the employee’s priorities, and begin conducting personalized research. Consultants are familiar with neighborhood differences, school district boundaries, and the local cost of living to aid your employees in securing a rental home that meets their needs.

Consultants are also the go-to for any other assistance or recommendations needed by your employees. Whether it’s identifying the closest bank, understanding the healthcare system, finding a market for fresh produce, or getting recommendations for nearby parks, concert halls, or ramen spots, Dwellworks Destination Consultants will have the answer.
With Consultants in Singapore, Bedok New Town, Ulu Bedok, Jurong Town, and all of the cities that relocating employees want to live, we cover all major corporate hub locations. We can also assist in less traditional relocation markets. With knowledge of local laws, schools, and housing prices covering every province, Dwellworks virtual Consultants can assist with moves to any location in Singapore.
So, whether the move is near the Singapore Strait or inland, our Consultants can provide area overviews and introductions, assist in the housing search, coordinate settling-in services, and offer access to other helpful guides through our myDwellworks® platform – with the continued guarantee of that personal touch.
Technology Supports Every Move
Whether employees are looking for local trusted guidance pre-arrival, tips throughout their program, or neighborhood info and local favorites 3 months later, look no further than myDwellworks®.
Our easy-to-use online resource offers insights for successfully navigating a new location, from learning about neighborhoods, to viewing housing styles, to ‘How To’ guides for completing important tasks – all available 24/7.
myDwellworks® is also a convenient communication platform for the employee and their Destination Consultant to send and retrieve messages, ask questions, and share and comment on properties.
And the best part? Flexibility to access the portal on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone with content not only available in 100+ languages but also for a full year after program initiation!
Our Unique Pairing of Destination Services and Corporate Housing
While the Dwellworks name has long been known in Singapore thanks to our corporate housing arm Dwellworks Living, our recent expansion to offer Destination Services as well is a great response to the growing demand for relocation services in Singapore.
Our ability to offer both services sets us apart from other global mobility providers, as we are able to create a seamless service experience and a coordinated journey from short term to long term housing for expatriates. Those using our Destination Services can be housed in some of our corporate housing partner properties, and our corporate housing guests can take advantage of our Destination Consultants for help with settling-in needs.
