Private condominiums have no HDB restrictions and can be purchased by both locals and foreigners at any time. Executive condominiums (ECs), however, begin as subsidized housing with a 5-year Minimum Occupation Period, after which they become partially privatized. They become fully privatized only after 10 years, and that is why foreigners can only buy ECs that have passed the 10-year mark.  

Nationals or Permanent Residents of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States are treated as Singapore Citizens for stamp duty purposes and are therefore exempt from the 60% Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty on their first property purchase.

1. whats difference between private and executive condominium. 2. people from which country not paying 60% additional? 3. why only condominius that have more than 10years?

What is the difference between a private condominium and an executive condominium in Singapore, which countries are exempt from the 60% Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty, and why can foreigners only buy executive condominiums that are more than 10 years old?

As a foreigner, you can purchase a private condominium or an executive condominium that is more than 10 years old. You may also buy landed property in Sentosa Cove, or landed property elsewhere if you are granted special permission from the Singapore Land Authority. Do note that if you are not from the United States or countries under certain Free Trade Agreements, you will be subject to an Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty of 60%, in addition to the standard Buyer’s Stamp Duty.

Foreigners can buy private condos, executive condos over 10 years old, and landed property in Sentosa Cove or with special permission. Non-US or non-FTA nationals face an Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty of 60% plus the standard Buyer's Stamp Duty.
