3. Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) – Student’s Pass
All International Students will require a Student’s Pass (see Figure 8) issued by the Immigration &
Checkpoints Authority (ICA) (ica.gov.sg) during your candidature in NUS. You should be familiar with
ICA’s requirements regarding Student’s Pass matters by checking ICA’s web-published information on
Student's Passes for University students (ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=325&secid=182). It is important for you to
take action promptly when you receive email notification to access the SOLAR system to verify your
details, as not doing so will delay your In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter application and subsequent
NUS registration procedures.
Figure 8: Specimen of Student’s Pass
If the application is approved, ICA shall grant you an IPA letter. If you are coming from a visa-required
country, a copy of the IPA letter will be sent to you via email. You can use this IPA letter as a single-entry
visa to enter Singapore. If you are coming from a non-visa required country, the stamped IPA letter will
be given to you after you have completed your registration procedures at NUS.
If you are not issued with an IPA letter, you would not be able to apply for a Student’s Pass and your
admission offer will be withdrawn.
You are advised to read the IPA letter carefully and prepare the required documents/items ready for
submission to ICA to convert your social visit pass to a Student’s Pass (ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=325&secid=
182#formalities).
3.1. ICA’s Off-Site Exercise for Issuance of Student’s Passes
ICA has arranged for an offsite enrolment for the issuance of Student's Passes. You are required to

requirements regarding Student’s Pass matters and relevant e-services and forms managed by ICA
(ica.gov.sg/e_services.aspx?pageid=313).
In addition, you may wish to explore the comprehensive summary on Student’s Pass matters
(nus.edu.sg/osa/ssc/services/students-pass) provided by the Student Service Centre (SSC) as part of their wide-
ranging suite of services for NUS students.
3.2. Additional Medical Examination for Student’s Pass Application
The issuance of the Student’s Pass is subject to the outcome of a medical examination. Students who
fail to fulfil the medical requirements will not be issued with a Student’s Pass.
The medical examination may be done in your home country if you have never resided in Singapore on
any long term immigration passes previously. However, it must be done using ICA’s prescribed medical
report form (ica.gov.sg/data/resources/docs/Visitor%20Services/MedicalReport.pdf), and submitted with the relevant
laboratory reports for the HIV test and x-ray. An official translation of the laboratory reports is
required if it is not in the English language. At the time of submission, the laboratory reports must not
be more than three months from the date of issue.
You may also opt to have this medical examination (together with the Pre-Admission Medical
Examination) done at the University Health Centre (UHC) (nus.edu.sg/uhc/healthservice). If you choose to do
this, you need to note that the results of the various laboratory tests will only be ready for collection
after five working days. It will be your responsibility to plan the timing of your medical examination
such as to have all necessary documents in good time for your appointment with ICA for the Enrolment
session.
