The 26-year-old joins the Swans for £4 million and has signed a two-and-a-half year contract.
Speaking to the club on Thursday, Narsingh said he was "delighted" to have signed for the Premier League strugglers and said he was excited to make his first appearance.
He said: "I know the team is low down in the table, but we have the quality to move up the table. I believe in Swansea and that we will be alright.
"I am looking forward to playing here. I will do my best and give everything in every game. I hope to become an important player for the team.”
Narsingh said the move came about after encouragement from his Netherlands team-mate Leroy Fer, who plays in midfield for the club.

He added: "I’ve looked at the Premier League for two or three years now, and Swansea always play good football. That’s why when Swansea came in for me I knew I wanted to play here."
"This is the best league, and with Swansea playing good football I knew it was a good club for me."
Narsingh rose up through the Ajax youth team before making more than 100 appearances for PSV since moving in 2012 and has twice won the Eredivisie title.
The Netherlands international has also earned 19 caps for the Dutch national team, scoring four goals.
Narsingh, who is suffering from a minor calf injury, will not feature in the club's Premier League fixture against Arsenal on Saturday.
