Application for Student's Pass

If you wish to study full-time in Singapore, you will require a Student's Pass.  You are advised to liaise directly with your school/ education institution of interest. All Student's Pass applications are to be submitted to ICA online through https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/STP/apply. Your school/ institution will provide you with a Registration Acknowledgement Letter containing a Student’s Pass application number, for you to complete your Student’s Pass application online.

PRC citizens who are above 19 years old and wish to attend a language, commercial, vocational or fine arts non-graduate/ postgraduate degree course (including the University of London (UOL) tuition programmes) at an EduTrust Private Education Institution (PEI), may be required to attend an interview at the Embassy.
