What is the function of the Singapore student pass?

The Singapore Student Pass is a necessary document for all students who want to study in Singapore. Upon arrival in Singapore, the staff will arrange for the applicant to collect the "Student Pass" from the Singapore Immigration Bureau. This "student ID card" is a long-term residence permit for multiple trips, and it is also an ID card for foreign students to legally stay in Singapore. With this student pass, applicants can freely enter and leave Singapore while studying in Singapore, and no visa is required.

To apply for a student permit, you need the following documents:

Passport, entry visa card, student ID card approval letter, school confirmation letter, and payment of 60 yuan dollar. It usually takes only two hours to make it, and it can be taken out the next day at the latest. The student ID card will be renewed at the Immigration Bureau within the specified time, and 60 yuan dollars will still be paid each time.

The role of the student permit:

With a student ID card, you don't need to carry your passport often in your daily life, just show your student ID card when necessary. With a permit, you can apply for a library card in the National Library and use the rich materials there for free. With the student ID card, you can also open a bank account in the bank and apply for your own ATM card, so you don't have to take a lot of cash to the streets in the future. The so-called "landing card" will be issued to you at the same time as the student ID card, which is convenient for you to use when visiting relatives in China and traveling back to Singapore in other countries during the validity period of the student ID card. Holders of this card do not need to apply for a visa to go abroad or return home.

All international students wishing to study full-time in Singapore must apply for a student permit and visa (if applicable) from the Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau (ICA). Applicants who need a visa to enter the country, please make sure to apply for a student pass from ICA at least two months before the start of school.
