The Student's Pass is issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and authorises foreign nationals to reside in Singapore while pursuing approved full-time education. All international students at Singapore institutions (from kindergartens to universities, including private education institutions) must hold a Student's Pass unless they already have another valid long-term pass. Applications are submitted through the SOLAR+ online system, typically initiated by the educational institution. There is no formal English language test requirement for the pass itself (requirements depend on the institution).
