For studying in Singapore, students need to apply for a student pass that allows them to enter in the country. The procedure is mostly done by the institute that the student has applied to. The Student Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (SICA). It is advisable that the application for the student pass must be submitted between one to two months before the student requires the pass and the relevant course commences. Every applicant to the programme submits a Visa processing fee of $30 with the application to the university. Further, students are also charged specific insurance fees.
Several documents are necessary for obtaining the study pass. Students require a valid passport, complete application forms for the Visa, receipt of payment, the offer letter from the institute, two passport-sized photographs of the student, bank statements, fixed deposit receipts or a bank loan document, relevant test scores and transcripts in addition to proof of payment procedures for tuition and living costs. Do note that the passport must be valid for at least three months following the study period in Singapore.
The university will register the student on the Student’s Pass On-Line Application & Registration (SOLAR) system online. Following this, students can use the portal to submit the eForm 16. Students must have the relevant login details provided by the university, their passport details and information regarding their resident address and telephone in Singapore, in addition to the applicant’s email address and a passport sized photograph. These have to be printed out and submitted to the relevant authority. The spouses and children of graduate research students will be allowed a 4-week Social Visit Pass at the airport up on application. Students who have received the Visa can work up to 16 hours a week on the Visa. In addition to this, students can extend their stay following the completion of their studies for a year to look for employment in the country. They will receive a one-year visit pass for the same.
I will be forever grateful to Nitil sir for their guidance in helping me. He has backed me at each step of the way and has followed up with me on all aspects of my applications. He brainstormed with me and have always pushed me to do better while I wass drafting my essays. His knowledge of the universities and his approachable nature always amazed me. I would like to thank Sir from the bottom of my heart for his continuous support.
I am really grateful that I took consultancy from Gupta sir. Although, I approached him quite late, I got accepted in almost all the universities with scholarships in 3 of them. he is well organised and always kept me prepared for the next step. he was easily approachable at all times, and guided me in the best way throughout my entire journey.
I feel he has been extremely helpful and has been a guiding star, always available whenever we need any assistance. He has very in-depth knowledge and is very sharp to read kid's interests and psychology. Apart from this, he has shown great support when I was filling out my college applications: editing my essays, and answering all my questions. Really very thankful for it.
I am very thankful to Nitil sir and the team for helping me throughout. This cumbersome process was made very easy for me, accredited to sir's efforts. I've recieved 5 admits in total, which includes all of my dream schools, and a 50% of scholarship in one of them as well. I am grateful for sir's support and guidance.
Careeanomics guided me and gave courage to apply for top schools in USA. And with their guidance and assistance I knew I couldn’t have made my application any better. Careeanomics helped me reach my goal and they owe a real great part in my success. I would say Careeanomics would always be my first suggestion to all the students who have their goals set high.
