Virtual office in Singapore: the ACRA registered address your company needs, and what it costs

Virtual officeUpdated 27 July 2026By the Nextspace Singapore desk
On this page4

A virtual office in Singapore gives your company a real Singapore business address for ACRA registration and mail, without renting desk space. The reason most companies take one is legal: every company registered with ACRA must have a registered office address in Singapore, open to the public, and a PO box does not qualify. Address-only plans are the entry point; plans that add mail handling, a local phone number and meeting-room access cost more. Nextspace is a free Singapore office broker. This is general guidance, not legal advice; confirm the current ACRA requirements with a licensed corporate secretary.

What a virtual office gives you

A compliant ACRA address

A genuine Singapore commercial address for company registration and official mail, open to the public as ACRA requires. The core reason to take a virtual office.

Mail handling

Post received, sorted, and scanned or forwarded to you, so nothing official is missed while you work elsewhere.

A local phone (optional)

A Singapore number answered in your company name, with messages passed on, on the fuller plans.

Room to upgrade

Most providers offer coworking and serviced offices at the same address, so you can add a desk later without changing your registered address.

How it fits company registration, and the bank catch

A Singapore company also needs a company secretary (within six months of incorporation) and a registered office from day one, so many providers bundle corporate-secretary and incorporation services with the address. The catch generic guides miss: Singapore banks scrutinise a company’s address when you open a corporate account, and a mass-market shared address can slow or block account opening. Use a reputable, licensed provider, keep documents in order, and tell them up front you will open a corporate account.

Frequently asked questions

Can I register my Singapore company with a virtual office address?

Yes, a compliant virtual-office address can serve as your ACRA registered office, provided it is a genuine Singapore address open to the public. Confirm current requirements with a licensed corporate secretary.

Will a virtual office address affect opening a bank account in Singapore?

It can. Some banks scrutinise shared or mass-market addresses, so use a reputable, licensed provider and tell them you will be opening a corporate account.

What is the difference between a virtual office and a serviced office in Singapore?

A virtual office is an address and mail or call handling, with no dedicated workspace. A serviced office is a physical private office you and your team work from. Many providers offer both at the same address.

Do I still need a company secretary if I have a virtual office?

Yes. Every Singapore company must appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation, separate from the registered address. Many virtual-office providers bundle the service.
