About us

We are a non-political, non-religious and non-profit seeking association of Swiss nationals and persons with a close relation to Switzerland residing in Singapore

The Swiss Association of Singapore (SAS)

The Swiss Association of Singapore (SAS) is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit seeking association of Swiss nationals and persons with a close relation to Switzerland residing in Singapore.

Under the shelter and support of the Embassy of Switzerland, as well as the sponsorships of few Swiss entrepreneurs and companies in Singapore, the SAS started to offer some events and activities for people to meet and mingle. More formally, the objectives of the Swiss Association are:

to facilitate contact among Swiss nationals living in Singapore
to foster friendship and contact between the Swiss community in Singapore and friends of Switzerland
to liaise between the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore and the Swiss community in Singapore
to act as a link between other Swiss organizations in Singapore and the Swiss community in Singapore
to organize social and recreational events that are in the general interest of its Members and the Swiss community in general

Due to the fact that Swiss nationals are split into three language communities and that the main language spoken in Singapore is English, it was decided that the official language of the SAS will be English.

The Swiss Ambassador and the Consul are Honorary Members of the SAS.
Any Swiss citizen or foreigner linked with Switzerland can apply for a membership; once the Committee has approved the submitted application, the applicant is admitted as a Member of the Swiss Association and entitled to all the membership’s privileges.
