New applications for a Student's Pass must be submitted at least one (01) month and not more than two (02) months before the commencement of the course through ICA's Student's Pass On-Line Application & Registration (SOLAR) system
š Registration of Student Pass
Before you submit an application for a Student's Pass through SOLAR, NTU will register you through SOLAR with the following information:
- your name, date of birth, gender and nationality (as they appear on your travel documents);
- course details eg: semester start / end date
- SOLAR application reference number
š Submission of eForm 16
Once NTU has successfully registered your information, you may login to SOLAR to submit eForm 16.
You must have the following information ready:
- a registration acknowledgement notice with login information provided by NTU (SOLAR Form)
- passport details (including travel document/passport number, date of expiry ..etc)
- NRIC/FIN of parents if your parents are Singaporean or foreigners who are working or residing in Singapore
- a Singapore address and contact details
- your e-mail address
- a digital copy of your passport photograph
Processing Time: 03~10 working days
Note: ICA will impose an additional S$30 processing fee for any amendments made to the submitted eForm 16. Students should ensure that their particulars are correct before they submit.
š Completion of Formalities
If your application is successful, you will be issued with an in-principle approval (IPA) letter by ICA through NTU. If you require a visa to enter Singapore, it will be incorporated in the IPA letter. You need not apply for a separate visa and may enter Singapore by producing the IPA letter at the immigration checkpoints.
ICA, in collaboration with NTU, conducts offsite enrolment during peak registration periods for the issuance of Student's Pass. NTU will advise students on the date, time and venue for the offsite enrolment.
If students miss this offsite exercise, they will have to report to ICA in person for the procedures.
Please bring along the following documents when collecting your pass:
- IPA letter from ICA
- a valid passport / travel documents
- a photocopy of your passport particulars page
- embarkation / disembarkation card (IMM27)
- signed printout of eForm 16 from SOLAR
- a medical report in the prescribed ICA format including an original copy of the laboratory report
(not applicable if the total course duration is less than 06 months)
