This is not tax advice.

It should not be an issue as long as you declare your tax residency correctly with your broker. As an expat, it would definitely be beneficial if you used a broker with a substantial international presence such as IBKR for more flexibility.

The bigger issue is with tax reporting, and that largely depends on your tax residency. Some countries require you to pay capital gains tax as well. Since you mentioned that you are an expat, you should consult with your company's tax advisor to get things ironed out before you leave Singapore.
