As of October 2023, approximately 31.37 thousand Japanese residents lived in Singapore, the lowest number of the past decade. Within the observed period, numbers peaked in 2017 at around 37.5 thousand Japanese expats, but remained otherwise on a relatively similar level around 36 thousand. The statistic, which is based on the information gathered by Japanese diplomatic missions abroad, does not include descendants of Japanese emigrants (nikkeijin) who do not hold Japanese citizenship. People with multiple citizenship are counted.
