What are the requirements for applying for studying in Singapore? What are the matters needing attention?

The application for studying in Singapore requires that if you are over 19 years old at the time of application and want to study full-time courses in an accredited private educational institution (PEO), your application will be directly processed by the Singapore Immigration and Inspection Bureau (ICA). If you are over 19 years old at the time of application and want to take non-postgraduate/postgraduate degree courses in language, business, vocational or fine arts (including tuition courses of University of London (UOL)), you may need to interview the requirements of the embassy.

? PEO, the Singapore Embassy in China, will notify the interview time by email within one month after submitting the application. Therefore, applicants should contact PEO for an interview date. About two months after the interview, PEO will be informed of the application results.

? Fees (1 SGD =4.8239 RMB) A processing fee of SGD 30 is required for each application submitted to ICA. No matter how the application results or the application is withdrawn after submission, the fee will not be refunded. When the successful applicant completes the procedure of issuing student pass in ICA, he must pay a fee of S $60. The entry visa fee is RMB 300 yuan (including the visa processing fee of S $30 paid to the Singaporean government and the service fee paid to the authorized visa agent).
