Digital Nomad Life in Singapore

By Betsy Burlingame

Summary: Digital nomads love living in Singapore because it is a vibrant and modern city with a great quality of life. Singapore is a safe and secure city with a low crime rate, excellent public transportation, and a wide range of cultural attractions. The city is also home to a large expat community, making it easy to make friends and find work. The best neighborhood to live in Singapore for digital nomads is the Central Business District (CBD). The CBD is home to many of the city’s most popular attractions, including the Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The area is also well-connected to the rest of the city via public transportation, making it easy to get around. The approximate population of Singapore is 5.6 million people. The weather in Singapore is typically hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit (24-32 degrees Celsius). The monthly cost of living for a digital nomad in Singapore is approximately $2,000-$3,000 USD. This includes rent, food, transportation, and entertainment. The cost to rent a centrally located, one-bedroom apartment with high-speed internet access in Singapore is approximately $2,000-$3,000 USD per month.

How do I meet people in Singapore?

When we asked people living in Singapore about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Singapore often join clubs and activities such as sports teams, language classes, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people through networking events, online forums, and social media groups. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join local churches, volunteer organizations, and professional associations. These activities provide a great way to meet people and make connections in the local community," remarked one member in Singapore.
