Afternoon Marcus,

In purchasing a residential property in Singapore, you will be subject to buyer's stamp duty (additional buyer's stamp duty will be applicable for your case as your spouse is a foreigner), stamp duty for mortgage and legal fees.

As for the ABSD, you may apply for remission from IRAS but it's on a case by case basis.

Warmest Regards,

    What do you mean by additional buyer's stamp duty as my spouse is foreigner... does it mean that provided the condo is under her name only?
