Can foreigners be a licensee, PO, CGO or Section Leader?
There is no restriction under HCSA on the nationality of the licensee (if a natural person), PO, CGO or Section Leader. However, the licensee (if a natural person), PO, CGO or Section Leader must reside in Singapore in order to discharge their duties and functions effectively.
There is no residency requirement for KAHs, as long as they are able to fulfil their governance roles effectively.
