The validity of the student ID card in Singapore will be extended from half a year to one year.

The Immigration and Registration Bureau of Singapore issued a statement saying that from 165438+ 10/day, foreign students will study full-time university courses in private schools in Singapore, and the validity period of student ID cards will be extended from half a year to one year. China students can now apply directly to the Singapore Immigration and Registration Bureau without going through the Singapore Embassy in China. However, students must attend private schools registered with the Ministry of Education. Besides, they don't have to pay a deposit.

The Singapore Immigration and Registration Office issued a statement on 3 1 saying that the Singapore government has also improved the procedures for foreign students to apply for other courses in local private schools. These measures include extending the validity period of student ID cards from three months to six months, reducing the number of documents to be submitted when applying, and setting up facilities in the Immigration and Registration Department building to facilitate first-time applicants to enter application forms.

Private schools in Singapore welcome the implementation of the new measures, which they believe will help the development of the local education industry. After the implementation of the new measures, the number of foreign students will increase greatly.

At the same time, after the implementation of the new measures, China students will not have to submit application forms through the Singapore Embassy in China, but can apply directly to the Immigration and Registration Bureau in Singapore.
