Student Pass

International students will be admitted to Singapore upon production of a valid passport. On arrival, social visit passes will be issued for an initial stay of two weeks.

Nationals from the following countries may enter Singapore without a visa:
Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong (British passport), Netherlands, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Nationals from other countries should obtain a visa to enter Singapore but are not required to pay for visa application. Only upon approval of the application, a fee for the issuance of your Student's Pass at $40/= per year or part thereof is required. If a visa is required to enter Singapore, an additional fee of S$20/= for the visa is payable during the collection of Student's Pass from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority.

Student visa/application must be applied electronically via Student’s Pass Online Application & Registration (SOLAR). For successful candidates who are not in Singapore and require a visa to enter Singapore, SPI will issue a SOLAR number to enable them to apply for a Student Pass from their home country. Those already residing in Singapore and nationals of all other countries will be issued with the SOLAR number and instructions for Student Pass application upon enrolment at Singapore Polytechnic.
