202 1 Entry and Exit Procedures for Studying in Singapore

There are many things to prepare before studying in Singapore. You need to know in advance, such as the process of studying in Singapore and the materials for entry. Let's introduce these related contents to you!

I. Entry and Exit Procedures for Studying in Singapore

Step 1: Apply for IPA before entering the country.

All students need to obtain the Letter of Approval in Principle (IPA) issued by Immigration Singapore (ICA) before entering the country. The school will apply for IPA for students. IPA is usually valid for 3 months /9 months. Students need to arrange admission within the time stipulated by IPA.

To apply for the student ID approval letter IPA, you need to submit the following materials:

1. Student's birth medical certificate;

2. Original bank deposit certificate or notarial certificate;

3. Parents' work certificates in Chinese and English;

2-inch photos of students with white background within 4.3 months.

5. Notarial certificate of transcripts;

6. Notarial certificate of highest academic qualifications;

7. Passport valid for more than one year.

When applying for IPA, students only need to provide scanned copies of the above documents, and all originals must be brought to Singapore. The review period of the student ID card approval letter IPA is generally 2-3 weeks.

Step 2: Apply for entry permit.

The school will submit the student's admission permit to ICA and MOE, and after the application is successful, it will get the admission approval letter from the Ministry of Education of Singapore. If the flight is cancelled, students need to provide relevant documents. If you miss the admission time for personal reasons, you have to reapply. It usually takes 2-4 weeks to review.

At this point, the school will ask you to provide the following two supporting documents:

1. Tickets have been purchased.

2. Local accommodation information in Singapore

Step 3: Book air tickets and hotels.

Step 4: Get an entry approval letter.

Step 5: Fill in the electronic entry card and electronic health declaration form.

Three days before the formal admission, students fill out the electronic health declaration form online, and will receive a formal email receipt after completion. Receipts need to be saved and printed on paper.

Step 6: Officially enter Singapore.

Step 7: Arrive at Singapore Airport.

When you arrive in Singapore, there is an eye-catching sign at the airport to remind you to fill out your personal health declaration. If you have already filled out the electronic health declaration form online in China (step 5 above), you can skip this step and queue up at the customs.

Two. Entry materials

China and Singapore enjoy friendly relations. China students only need to prepare a few materials to enter Singapore, and it's not complicated, so you don't need to worry very much.

First of all, you should prepare your passport, which is an important document for purchasing air tickets and boarding. Before you get the residence certificate in Singapore, it is an important document for you to stay in Singapore legally.

Next, prepare the visa. First, register with the Singapore Immigration Bureau in official website, and then fill in the student visa application form. Remember to pay the visa application fee after submitting the application.

After passing, the Immigration Bureau will send a letter. The envelope is an IPA letter, which can travel back and forth between China and Singapore. It is also essential.

Finally, the admission notice, you need to prove your status as an international student, so remember to bring your offer and check it before entering the camera.

3. List of luggage for studying in Singapore

Clothing problems:

Singapore is summer all year round, so there is no need to prepare winter clothes. It is enough to bring a few more T-shirts and two or three thin coats. According to personal preference, bring some long shorts. Singapore sells in June and 65438+February every year. It is very cheap to buy things at this time, but it is recommended to bring more socks, which is more expensive here. Friends who like swimming remember to bring swimsuits. Swimsuits in Singapore are more expensive. Leather shoes, sports shoes, casual shoes and sandals are also brought from China, and you can wait until there is a discount here.

Baggage problem:

Use a large canvas box, a boarding box and a backpack by yourself. I suggest you take all the heavy things, so that the checked baggage is not easy to be overweight, and put some things that are not too heavy in a big box. Heavy things, such as putting books in boarding boxes and backpacks, follow you on the plane. You don't need to check them. You'd better prepare a small satchel yourself, so that you can put money, air tickets, passports, notices and the like in it. All luggage at Singapore airport must be packed, but it is free.

Daily necessities:

In fact, the daily necessities in Singapore are not expensive, and many of them are even cheaper than those in China, but toothbrushes and toothpaste are more expensive. I suggest you bring more. Bath lotion and shampoo can be bought later. Friends who wear glasses suggest preparing an extra pair of glasses frames, bringing more pairs of contact lenses and bringing their own potions. Girls should bring toiletries and umbrellas, and it is best to choose portable folding ones. You can bring a small alarm clock, and you need to prepare an air-conditioned quilt, two sets of sheets and pillows. Landlords here are usually prepared. Some landlords will go to the supermarket if they don't buy it, but the sanitary napkins that girls usually use are more troublesome because they are more expensive here.

Food problem:

Friends who like beef jerky can bring some, raisins can also, but don't bring instant noodles. Many things here are very cheap. If you like snacks, bring something you like, but not too much. Don't bring anything else, even hot pot bottom materials are sold here.
