(1) Student Pass Matters (International Students Only)

International Students need a valid passport to enter Singapore. For candidates from countries which require an entry visa to enter Singapore (http://app.ica.gov.sg/travellers/entry/visa_requirements.asp), the University will also be applying the visa cum Student’s Pass via the SOLAR system upon your acceptance into the Master of Public Health program. Upon approval of your Student’s Pass, the original approval letter issued by the Immigration & Checkpoint (ICA) and the valid passport must be presented to the Duty Officer at the Immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore. More information about Student’s Pass may be found at http://app.ica.gov.sg/serv_visitor/Student_pass/Student_pass_app_only.asp.

Please note that spouses and/or children of international coursework graduate students are not sponsored by the University for their visa applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) have to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4th Floor ICA and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA and the student must have already obtained a Student’s Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A Local Sponsor (Singapore Citizen / Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children.
