How to Apply for Study Visa for Singapore

Singapore Study Visa Process

As an international student, you must apply for a student after being accepted for a full-time study program by an educational institution in Singapore. In Singapore, as stated earlier, each visa is referred to as a PASS. The same applies to Employment Pass and Social Travel pass etc. It is recommended that you apply for a Student Pass at least one month before starting your studies. You can submit your application for the pass on the official registration system. The process to apply for a study visa in Singapore is as follows:

• To apply for a study visa, you must have an offer letter from a higher educational institution in Singapore.

• After that, you have to fill out the student pass application form. It is recommended that you seek the help of our experts to avoid rejection.

• Next, provide all the necessary documents and wait.

• Get ready to fly!

If you’re from India, you’ll need to apply for a visa to study in Singapore. The following information is taken from embassy and consulate websites. The student visa that you need to enroll in a complete degree programme in Singapore is displayed below.

Student's Pass

• Application description

You will need to apply online using the e-Service at least 2 months and not more than 3 months before your course begins. You do not need to be in Singapore while your application is being processed. As such, we recommend you apply for a Student’s Pass before arriving in Singapore as you cannot extend your stay while processing is underway. If your application is approved, you can then enter Singapore to complete the formalities required to issue your Student’s Pass.
