Singapore student visa renewal preparation materials

One of the most important and special prerequisites for renewing a student ID card: attendance.

It is understood that the Singapore Immigration Bureau requires international students to attend classes at least 90% per month, otherwise the visa renewal will be rejected. If students need to take time off due to illness during their study, they need to apply to the dean of the college and provide a sick leave form issued by a regular doctor. Only after getting approval can they be allowed to take a vacation. Anyone who has taken leave or returned to China for more than 60 days must re-submit an application to the Singapore Immigration Bureau after the student visa expires. Experts pointed out the specific content:

Students need to maintain at least 90% attendance throughout the semester.

Students must go to school five days and five hours a week. If they are more than 15 minutes late, they will be regarded as absent.

Only medical certificates issued by local clinics are accepted; Foreign medical certificates in non-English need to be notarized in English before they can be accepted.

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

Attendance will be calculated based on daily punching and signature. If attendance does not reach 90%, students will receive a warning letter. If students don't come to school for three consecutive days without a doctor's certificate, they will also receive a warning letter from the school. If a student is absent from class for 7 consecutive days, the school will notify the Immigration Bureau.

Ok, you don't have the above problems. Let's continue to look at the specific renewal process:

Generally speaking, the validity period of the student ID card for studying in Singapore is the end of the first phase of your course, so you need to renew the student ID card. You need to call your PM (that is, the course manager) before the expiration of your student ID card 10, and ask them to cancel your student ID card and go through the formalities of renewal. About 4 days, you need to hand in a copy of your student ID card, photo and passport before you can renew it. You will receive a letter from PM about ICA, which tells you that your student ID card has been successfully cancelled. After cancellation, there will be 1 month of white card time. A white card means that you can stay in Singapore for 1 month without any license.

As the student ID card is to be renewed for studying in Singapore, there is one more thing to do, that is, go to the ICA website to pay the 30 yuan handling fee and make an appointment for renewal. Here, students need to pay special attention to the fact that 30 yuan must pay by credit card. If it is not a credit card, it is impossible to complete the payment. Let's talk about the appointment. Appointment is sometimes a very troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the previous appointment is full, and the appointment renewal time is later than the expiration time of the student ID card. What should I do?

Don't worry, you just need to go to the information desk in ICA4 building one or two days before the due date. The staff will give you a number, and then you can sit there and wait for the call.

Personal materials to be prepared:

OEC is your highest diploma in China (such as high school diploma);

Travel documents, the so-called "travel documents" are actually your passports;

The student ID card is the student ID card that you have cancelled (2 copies).

Ps: If the attendance problem mentioned above really occurs, you may be asked to interview. Of course, if you are suspected of breaking the law, you will also be asked for an interview.
