What are the entry requirements for studying in Singapore?

To study in Singapore, you must carefully understand your entry process and confirm that you can study in Singapore smoothly. Let's take a look at the admission requirements for studying in Singapore. What are the entry and exit inspections for studying abroad?

Entry process

(1) Unless you transfer at the same airport, follow the arrival sign; Arrival will lead you to immigration control;

(2) The Immigration Bureau has an electronic display screen to tell you which channel to take; Generally, there will be channels for non-nationals. Please line up for each member and show your passport. The head of the team (squad leader) lined up at the front of the team with an invitation letter to explain the situation of the team to the Customs and Immigration Bureau.

(3) All passengers must go through the entry formalities of their flights through designated channels;

(4) The immigration officer will check whether your documents are complete and whether you have a valid passport with a visa; After the inspection is correct, the immigration officer will stamp your passport and indicate the entry date;

(5) After you pass the immigration check, you can claim your luggage. According to the flight number on the electronic display, your luggage will be on the corresponding conveyor belt (these procedures are the same as domestic flights). If you find that your luggage is abnormal, please contact your airline office at the airport immediately.

(6) After receiving the luggage, the next step is to pass the customs inspection. Generally, you will see two exits, the green channel: no declaration; Red channel: there are items to declare; If you carry more goods and cash than the limit, you must choose the red channel.

1. Declare if you are not sure.

At this time of year, many friends will happily bring many gifts or items. I didn't expect to be fined, confiscated and even blacklisted as soon as I entered the country. What a disappointment.

Therefore, the wisest thing to do is: as long as you are not sure whether your belongings can be brought into Canada, you must remember to declare them truthfully when you enter the customs. In this case, no matter whether the gift can be brought home in the end, at least it will not be fined or even prosecuted by the customs.

According to the law, passengers must declare all the food, animals and plants and related products in the declaration card when entering the country. Even this allowed item needs to be declared.

In addition, even if the following items are allowed, they may need to provide entry documents and may need to apply for permission and/or certificate of origin in advance: any meat products and dairy products; And dried fruits, plants, fruits and live animals.

For the convenience of readers, we have compiled the relevant laws and regulations of Canada Border Service Agency, Canada Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada and other departments on carrying inbound articles.

2. Can Chinese herbal medicines and condiments enter the country?

Herbs, spices, tea, coffee beans and spices can all be brought into Canada.

There are many kinds of condiments, and gourmets who are good at cooking feast on them.

People in China who admire Chinese medicine can also safely carry Chinese herbal medicines (except those which are determined to be toxic and restricted by the Ministry of Health).

However, it should be noted that Chinese herbal medicine refers to dried or frozen medicinal materials, not fresh plants or Chinese patent medicines, and must not contain any ingredients similar to bark. Because fresh medicinal materials and bark are generally prohibited from entering the country, Chinese patent medicines are over-the-counter and have strict requirements.

The duty-free quota of cigarettes and alcohol is limited.

Cigarettes, alcohol and medicines are all things that China immigrants often like to bring back to Canada after returning home. At the same time, it is also a strictly restricted item. Tobacco and alcohol can only be exempted from customs duties within a certain amount.

Liquor, not exceeding 65,438+0.5 liters of wine, or 65,438+0.65,438+04 liters of spirits, or at most 8.5 liters of beer. If it exceeds the quantity, it will be taxed.

Cigarettes, cigarette products that can be brought into Canada for personal use, can only be five at most (1 including 200 cigarettes, or 50 cigars, or 200 grams of cut tobacco); But there can only be one tax exemption at most. However, Canadian-made cigarettes purchased from duty-free shops are not subject to duty-free or quantity restrictions.

In short, tobacco and alcohol can be brought into the country as long as they are declared, but the tax paid is uncertain.

According to the Customs Law, if people fail to declare cigarettes and alcohol when entering the country, their articles will be confiscated forever.

In addition, although the duty-free quota for individuals who leave the country for more than 2 days is 800 yuan, the duty-free quota for gifts (non-tobacco and alcohol) is only 60 yuan.

Matters needing attention

1. Documents required for entry

The documents you need to carry with you include a passport with a visa, a copy of the approval for foreign students issued by the Singapore Immigration Bureau, a visa issued by the Singapore Embassy or Immigration Bureau, and an entry card (available on the plane). Baggage should be noted that tobacco products and alcohol are not allowed to enter Singapore.

Step 2 enter

Before the plane arrives, the entry card will be issued to passengers in need to fill it out. A considerable number of flights will stop at Singapore Changi Airport. After getting off the plane, you can look for the sign to reach the border checkpoint.

Compared with other countries, Singapore's security inspection efficiency is quite high. As long as you have valid documents, there won't be too many problems. At the same time, international students should pay attention to the fact that the living expenses and other funds they carry need to be truthfully declared and cannot be concealed for customs clearance. As people with long hair and beards were refused entry in the past, international students are advised to dress as neatly as possible.

If you encounter any problems during transportation, many people in Singapore can speak Chinese, and the airport staff will help you enthusiastically, so don't be too nervous.

3. Others

Finally, I would like to remind you that the laws in Singapore are very strict. In Singapore, jaywalking, spitting and smoking in public places will all be fined or even imprisoned. I hope you can abide by the law during your study abroad.
