All international students must have a valid pass to study in SP and are advised to apply for a Student's Pass (STP).

Digital STP
From 27 February 2023, ICA will issue digital STP only. Physical STP cards issued prior to 27 February 2023 will remain valid until they expire or are cancelled.

The digital STP can be accessed directly on the Singpass app, or downloaded from the MyICA or FileSG website upon completion of formalities with ICA. For step-by-step guides on retrieving digital STP on FileSG website, click here and look under "Retrieval of Digital Student's Pass on FileSG Website".

Apply Singpass
With the introduction of the digital STP by ICA, all international students who are above 15 years old and FIN holders are encouraged to apply for a Singpass account. Please visit the Singpass website for more information on how to apply.

Update Singapore Residential Address with ICA

Students are required to report to ICA within 14 days after the change of their Singapore residential address.

ICA will send a 6-digit PIN mailer to the new address for verification. You must key in the 6-digit PIN to confirm the change of address. Once validated, the updated address will be reflected in the digital STP.

Do ensure that you also update SP's record at e-Services > Personal > Update Contact Details.

STP expiring during the course duration

If your STP is expiring during your course of study, you may request an extension by sending an enquiry via Enquiry Form with the following information:

• Student ID
• Student Name
• Course of Study
• Period of extension (No. of semesters)

SP will contact you via iChat email when it is ready for you to apply.

Important:
ICA will take action against international students studying full-time without a valid immigration pass. You must hold a valid Student's Pass / Dependant's Pass / Long-Term Visit Pass / Immigration Exemption Order to study at SP and remain in Singapore.

Cessation of Study

Non-current students are required to return their STP to ICA within 7 days of cessation of study. Visit the ICA website to find out how.

If you are a Singpass account holder, you may submit a self-cancellation of your STP at https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/solar/index.xhtml.

NS-liable persons can be granted deferment from full-time National Service (NS) to pursue full-time studies for higher academic qualifications, up to GCE ‘A’ Level, polytechnic diploma, or their equivalent pre-university qualification. If you have already attained the above qualifications locally or overseas, you will not be granted deferment to pursue another equivalent or below qualification. Deferment will not be granted for degree courses, even if you have already begun the course.

Please refer to the CMPB website for more information.

NS-liable persons must obtain approval from CMPB if they intend to:

• Change the course of study
• Change the institution / school

Disruption from full-time National Service for full-time studies

Disruption from full-time NS affects both the operational readiness of the unit and the individual. For this reason, disruption is a concession that can only be considered on the basis of equity to allow those from the same school cohort but enlisted in the later intake, to proceed for further studies at the same time as those enlisted in the earlier intake.

You may visit the CMPB website for more information on disruption from full-time NS for full-time studies.
