Policies that Singaporean students need to know.

Singapore has beautiful scenery, comfortable environment, strong educational environment and learning atmosphere. Before going to Singapore, we need to know some policies. Next, I will introduce these policies in detail.

Policy 1, policy of accompanying mothers and children of overseas students in Singapore

Singapore implements bilingual teaching, and the education level in Asia is relatively high. Many children from China are sent to study in Singapore. In order to ensure that children can study with peace of mind, Singapore has introduced a more humane policy-the accompanying study policy.

For children under the age of 16 who come to study in Singapore, their mothers/grandmothers can apply for companionship permission to legally live in Singapore and take care of them. During the accompanying period, their families can leave Singapore at will without applying for a tourist visa separately.

You can't directly work as an accompanying mother, but you need to apply for a work permit-it used to be stipulated that accompanying mothers must stay in Singapore for one year before they can apply, but now the policy is relaxed:

If you apply for EP and SP, as long as the employer is willing to hire accompanying mothers and there are places to apply for work permits, accompanying mothers can apply for work permits and work legally in Singapore; If it is WP, you need to stay in Singapore for one year to enjoy the special treatment of WP quota.

2. Application for permanent residence permit

Since 20 17 12 18, the procedures for applying for Singapore PR have been changed and the process is simpler. Applicants only need to submit the required information online without making an appointment in person. This shows that students studying in Singapore can apply for PR directly without an invitation letter!

The biggest advantage of PR in Singapore is that you can live in Singapore without any restrictions, and you don't have to give up your China citizenship. After holding PR for two years, you can apply for Singapore citizenship and become a Singapore citizen. Besides, there are many benefits in education, medical care and work.

3. Singapore immigrants

Anyone who graduates from a government-run university can apply for a green card and enjoy welfare benefits. After obtaining the green card, the spouse's children can be guaranteed to get the green card, parents and in-laws can be unconditionally guaranteed to live in Singapore, and multiple-entry visas can be granted.

In addition, you can also enjoy housing, medical insurance and other benefits when you get a Singapore green card. You can buy a government welfare house and pay the monthly bank mortgage fee with 50% of the provident fund; Can enjoy the medical welfare guarantee/pension welfare guarantee paid by the provident fund; Children can attend all government schools and enjoy corresponding government scholarships or tuition loans.

There is also a super welfare! ! ! After holding PR for two years, you can apply for Singapore citizenship and become a Singapore citizen. With a Singapore passport, you can travel to and from the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Union without a visa 16 1 country.

4. Policy for international students to work.

Not all international students can work part-time in Singapore. International students in public universities in Singapore are allowed to work, but there is a time limit. In principle, foreign students in private universities are not allowed to work unless the school is certified by the Education Service Accreditation Committee, but the premise is also to obtain the consent of the school. Otherwise, even illegal workers will be seriously repatriated to China.

What policy requirements does Singapore have for international students?

Because of the low tuition fees and easy employment for immigrants, Singapore's national universities and government polytechnics have become the targets of domestic applicants. However, there are no more than 10 public universities in Singapore, and their ability to absorb students is limited, which has caused a cluster of domestic applicants and the admission threshold is constantly improving. At present, only students with a score of 480 or above in the college entrance examination can successfully apply for Singapore Institute of Technology, and the threshold of three national universities is higher. Many applicants are not aware of this. They often equate science and engineering colleges with domestic majors, thinking that "a major will not be too difficult to test." Even some students who scored only 300 points in the college entrance examination came to apply for science and technology.
