Especially in the context of Hong Kong's increasingly unstable society, Singapore's stability and security have become the first choice of Hong Kong people. However, before immigrating, there are many details that need to be considered, such as moving accommodation, back baggage allowances, checked item restrictions, etc., to ensure a smooth transition to your new living environment. This article provides you with a detailed guide to enjoy tax-free benefits when immigrating to Singapore and to better understand Singapore’s prohibited items and restrictions.
