Singapore has topped another global ranking \u2014 this time for being the safest country in the world for immigrants.<\/p>\n
The ranking, part of online remittance service Remitly’s Immigration Index 2026, saw Singapore take first place with a total safety score of 95.4 out of 100, up from fifth place last year.<\/p>\n
The total safety score comprised a safety index score and a political stability score, both aspects in which Singapore outranked all the other countries evaluated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The report put Singapore’s safety index score as 45.4, and a full 50 for political stability.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trailing closely behind were Iceland, Switzerland, Japan and Luxembourg, which took second to fifth place respectively.<\/p>\n
According to the data collected, Singapore has “consistently low crime rates, strong rule of law and highly effective public institutions”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remitly said that Singapore regularly ranks among the safest globally due to strict enforcement, high social trust and political stability.<\/p>\n
The Republic was also named as the 5th country with the largest immigrant communities in the world, rising two spots up from 2025.<\/p>\n
The Immigration Index evaluated 82 countries across 34 metrics, spanning earning potential and healthcare to family support, safety, environmental quality and the strength of immigrant communities.<\/p>\n
Singapore took 18th place with a score of 53.5 out of 100 in the overall rankings \u2014 the highest placing within Asia.<\/p>\n
Switzerland was crowned as the top country for immigrants to move to in 2026 with a score of 60.8, up from second place in 2025.<\/p>\n
In particular, it ranked highly for its strong earning potential, strong healthcare access and high safety standards.<\/p>\n
Its well-established immigrant community and public utility infrastructure also contributed to its standing.<\/p>\n
Iceland and Luxembourg placed second and third behind Switzerland.<\/p>\n
