• For Singapore, there is no fixed set of requirements for the student pass. Students submit the documents, and ICA makes a decision. If the following boxes are ticked, students will most likely be granted a student pass
• The institution applies on students behalf once they choose a full-time course at a recognized educational institution;
• Academic credentials to support that student have completed secondary or tertiary education
• Properly filled application form and the supporting documents all check out
• Singapore has the ambition to be a regional education hub. So in general, the student pass process is kept as accessible and streamlined as possible.
• Students should process the Student Pass application as soon as possible can. Students are advised to bring their original documents when they collect their student pass.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that students will always need a valid endorsement in their passport, be it a student pass or social visit pass.
