Where to live in Singapore?
Singapore may be one of the world's smallest countries, but choosing the right neighbourhood makes a significant difference to your daily life as an expat. Popular areas like Holland Village and Buona Vista are a natural first choice for relocating families and are known for:
- their international communities,
- green surroundings
- and easy access to international schools
Districts like Orchard and River Valley offer a more urban lifestyle with every amenity within walking distance, while Sentosa Cove attracts those looking for a more exclusive, resort-style environment.
Gosselin has helped expats settle into every corner of Singapore. Whether you already know where you want to live or are still exploring your options, our team can advise you on the logistics of moving to your specific neighbourhood and help you plan accordingly.

Most day-to-day practicalities are straightforward, though it helps to know where to start. Gosselin's support does not end when the last box is unpacked. We are happy to share practical advice and connect you with trusted local partners who can help you settle in quickly and confidently.
Questions people might have while considering relocating to Singapore
Shipping time from Europe to Singapore is typically 4 to 6 weeks by sea freight, depending on the port of departure and chosen service. We recommend planning your move at least 8 to 12 weeks in advance to account for packing, documentation and customs clearance.
Singapore has strict import regulations. Certain medications, weapons, plants and other goods are either banned or heavily restricted. As regulations change regularly, we recommend consulting the official Singapore Customs website for the most current and complete overview.
Yes, but Singapore has strict pet import rules including mandatory vaccinations, microchipping and in some cases a quarantine period. Requirements vary depending on your country of origin. Always verify the latest guidelines with the official authorities before deciding.
Your residence permit or Employment Pass should be in order before your goods arrive, as customs clearance typically requires proof of residency. We advise coordinating your shipment timeline with your visa application to avoid storage delays.
