202 1 how to study in Singapore

At present, Singapore's entry for studying abroad has been opened for examination and approval, so what process should students follow when entering Singapore? The following will bring you the process of entering Singapore and the preparation before departure.

First, the process of foreign students entering China has increased the slope.

The first step before admission: apply for student ID IPA.

Before entering the country, all new students need to obtain a letter of approval in principle (student ID IPA) issued by Immigration Singapore (ICA), and the school will apply for IPA for students. IPA is usually effective (ranging from 3 months to 6 months), and students need to arrange entry within the time specified by IPA.

Students who already have student ID cards can skip this step.

Step 2: Apply for entry permit.

After obtaining IPA approval, the school will submit the students' online entry application to the Singapore Immigration Service (ICA). Please contact the school admission rules after IPA application.

Whether you have just obtained the approval letter IPA of your student ID card or you are already a student ID card holder, you need to apply for an entry permit from the Singapore Immigration Bureau through the school before you can return to Singapore.

The school will apply for admission for students. If the application is successful, students need to enter the country within 2 weeks after approval. 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. It is recommended to buy tickets that can be returned and changed as much as possible to avoid inconvenience.

The required documents are (please contact the school for details):

Information on purchasing air tickets

Accommodation information

Step 3: Book air tickets and hotels.

At the same time, the school needs to submit the student's air ticket information and address information (domestic orders) during the SHN period to the Singapore education department. According to Singapore's latest policy, the SHN time from Chinese mainland to Singapore has been reduced from 14 days to 7 days.

Suggest the specific time to buy air tickets. About 3-4 weeks after the school plans to submit the application for admission, the time for the Singapore education department to approve the admission permit will change. In case of delay, students need to modify their air tickets and hotels.

After receiving the student's specific air tickets and hotel information, the school will submit an application for entry permit to the Singapore Education Department.

In addition, you can choose a hotel or a separate room with a bathroom for specific SHN accommodation. If you choose the second scheme, you need to submit the lease agreement and other related documents to the school principal.

Step 4: Obtain PEA from Singapore Ministry of Education.

At the same time of submitting the application, the school will send students a link to the nucleic acid fee required by the education department of Singapore, and the fee is 186.

After the application materials such as payment are submitted, 1-2 weeks will receive the letter of admission PEA approved by the Ministry of Education of Singapore. After that, students can start to prepare their luggage and enter the country according to the time of the previously purchased air tickets (such as the validity period of IPA and PEA). PEA generally requires entry within 2 weeks.

Step 5: Fill in the electronic health declaration form.

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

When you arrive in Singapore, there is an eye-catching sign at the airport to remind you to fill out the personal health declaration form. If you have already filled it out in China (step 4 above), you can skip this step and queue at the customs.

After confirming personal information and health information, customs officers allow students to enter the country and issue electronic detectors to students.

Arrive at SHN position

After successful entry, students can take a taxi under the guidance of airport signs. At present, the Singapore government strongly advises all immigrants not to take public transport, but to travel by private car as far as possible.

Upon arrival in SHN, students need to wear an electronic detector and download the corresponding software according to the instructions, and submit their body temperature information and other information three times a day according to the relevant regulations.

Nucleic acid test

1. On the third or fourth day of notification at home, students will receive text messages informing them of the time, place and precautions for nucleic acid testing. On the day of nucleic acid testing, students need to bring their passports and IPA to the designated testing center according to the requirements in the SMS.

2. Students can only reserve a private car through the link in a taxi or text message, and inform the driver to do nucleic acid testing. The nucleic acid test is a throat swab test, which takes about 15 minutes. After the test, you need to return to the SHN site immediately, and you can't stay outside.

3. It is estimated that the results can be received within 1-2 days after the test. If the result is negative, students can go out on their own after seven days in SHN, but they still have to abide by Singapore's social distance and other regulations.
