Hello everyone,
Why did you choose to retire in Singapore? What are the advantages compared with your home country?
What were your main considerations when deciding to move? For example, taxes, ease of transferring your pension, etc..
Are there any specific formalities you had to go through as a retiree moving to Singapore (for example, is there a particular retirement visa)?
What is Singapore's healthcare like? Have you had any good or bad experiences dealing with healthcare professionals?
Do you have any tips for other retirees in Singapore?
Thank you for sharing your experience.

There are very few foreign retirees in Singapore.
This is due to the lack of a retiree visa (you'd already have to be Permananet Resident - PR - to be able to retire in Singapore), the very high cost of living and the fast-paced, urban lifestyle, which is not what most retirees want for their later life.
