11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

11.1 Application for Student’s Pass

All Full-Time International Students must have a valid Student’s Pass (see Figure below) which is issued by the Immigration Checkpoints Authority (ICA) for their programme of study.

NUS will initiate a registration with ICA, on your behalf, for your Student’s Pass application. You will receive a separate email instruction from end of May 2020 to submit an eForm16 to apply for Student’s Pass and/or visa online via the Student’s Pass Online Application & Registration (SOLAR) system after you have accepted your offer of admission.

If the student’s pass application is approved, ICA shall grant you an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter If you are from a visa-required country, you may also use the IPA letter, as a single-entry visa to enter Singapore. Please follow the instructions given by ICA to print out the IPA letter from the SOLAR system. Due to COVID-19, student’s pass holders who have been granted IPA and who plan to enter Singapore from any country must now obtain MOE's permission before they commence their journey. We will apply on your behalf, to MOE for entry approval based on the information that you declared in the Overseas Travel Declaration system (eg. your arrival date and FIN number from your approved IPA). (Refer to Section 1) If permission is granted, applicants will be issued an approval letter of entry by MOE for student’s pass holders, that is valid for two weeks. They must produce this approval letter of entry to airline staff upon check-in at the departure airport, and to the immigration officer at the checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore. Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, all travellers entering Singapore are reminded not make travel plans to Singapore until approval has been given by ICA/MOE. If they arrive in Singapore without the approval letter of entry from ICA/MOE, ICA will not allow them to clear immigration, and will require them to fly out of Singapore within 48 hours, at their own cost. If they fail to comply, ICA will cancel their pass or rescind their IPA. Please be reminded to: 1.
