Singapore is well known as one of the best countries for doing business in the world. The city-state is extremely well planned, well managed and is know for an effective government. The city is a very popular place to live and along with that is also quite expensive.

The visas for working in Singapore have strict requirements but the process of wading through the bureaucracy in Singapore is not the horrible experience it is in most places. The bureaucracy functions well and quickly.

Many working in Singapore live in Johor Bahru for the substantially cheaper rents and other expenses. Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world.
