What problems should I pay attention to when studying in Singapore?

Schools in Singapore also have a very strict student management system. Generally speaking, if an international student fails to meet the attendance requirements of the school, the Immigration Singapore (ICA) will cancel the StudentPass. Once the student ID card is cancelled, it is more difficult to apply again.

Attendance is the ratio of students' actual attendance to expected attendance.

Generally, the attendance rate of students in Singapore University is at least 80%-90%. (Generally, being late for 15 minutes counts as absenteeism, depending on the requirements of the test center school)

For international students, the Singapore Immigration Bureau attaches great importance to students' attendance. International students with low attendance are likely to be repatriated and then easily refused visas.

For students whose attendance rate is less than 90%, the Singapore Immigration Department has the right to refuse their application for a student permit.

In addition, in order to ensure the overall quality of students, the Singapore Immigration Department will also use transcripts as an important reference when renewing student permits for international students. International students with poor academic performance will also face the risk of being cancelled by the Immigration Bureau.

If students leave the country during holidays or classes, they need to fill out forms in the International Student Services Department. If you ask for sick leave, you need to apply to the school, provide sick leave notes issued by regular doctors, and be sure to find a western medicine clinic. The school of sick leave opened by Chinese medicine does not recognize it. In Singapore, taking leave by submitting a sick leave form does not count as the number of absences.

02. Students do part-time jobs

In Singapore, there are strict rules for international students with student permits to take part-time jobs. Only full-time students from some institutions designated by the government, students with ICA-recognized student ID cards and students whose student ID cards have not expired, can take up new jobs (basically institutions), and their weekly work during classes shall not exceed 16 hours.

Students studying in private universities in Singapore are only qualified to take part-time jobs if they are certified by the Education Service Accreditation Committee. Some private schools in Singapore will help students convert student visas into TrainingWorkPermit for legal internships, but the specific details depend on the school situation.

Although many college students can't take part-time jobs, the student associations and activities in the school and some practical projects arranged in the curriculum are often very rich, which can enrich your after-school experience.

03. Avoid overstaying.

Students must pay attention to the effective date of the license and update it in time before it expires. Overstaying can range from fines to imprisonment.

Whipping, and once you have overstayed, it will make it more difficult for you to apply for a visa in the future, and you will never be able to enter Singapore again. Therefore, international students must pay attention to the effective date when they get the permit.

Note: The student pass is a necessary document for all international students in Singapore. It is not only a long-term residence permit for multiple trips, but also an ID card for students to legally reside in Singapore.

After coming to Singapore to complete the physical examination and school college registration, remember to go to Singapore Immigration Bureau ICA (The Immigration &&; CheckpointsAuthority) building for students to sign! With this student ID card, you can freely enter and leave Singapore during your study in Singapore without another visa!

04, daily precautions

0 1, no littering.

Singapore is famous for being clean and tidy. Don't litter or spit. If you are caught throwing cigarette butts or small paper balls for the first time, you may be fined S $300. However, if you throw garbage out of the window, throw objects at high altitude or throw large objects, you may be fined S $2,000 or more. Destruction of public property is also a serious crime in Singapore. Climbing flowers and trees in public places will be fined, and they will be arrested and whipped in public places.

Pay attention to the chewing gum we are used to eating. In Singapore, don't think about buying non-medicinal chewing gum, let alone eating it casually. Anyone who imports or sells chewing gum may face a maximum fine of S $ 1 million or imprisonment of S $ 1 year (first offense).

02. Obey the traffic rules.

In Singapore, it is considered as "jaywalking" to choose to cross the road in other places within 50 meters of the crosswalk area instead of crossing the road in the crosswalk area.

Jaywalking, if caught red-handed, will be fined 20 Singapore dollars, and if the circumstances are serious, there will be a new fine of up to 1000 yuan or three months' imprisonment. If you do it again, the fine and imprisonment will be doubled.

Vehicles in Singapore drive on the left side of the road, and the direction of traffic flow is different from that in China, and the speed is faster. Therefore, it is necessary to remind newcomers to enhance their traffic awareness, abide by Singapore's traffic laws and habits, and must take the crosswalk.

Even when using the escalator, you should stand on the left and leave the right side for people in urgent need.

In addition, the subway is a very common means of transportation in Singapore, but if you deliberately violate the regulations inside, the punishment is quite severe. If you press the alarm or emergency brake, the trigger amount is as high as more than S $5,000. /zd/lx
