The Processing Time and Outcome

The timeline provided by the Immigration Checkpoint Authority of Singapore (ICA) is 4 weeks. However, some applications are processed faster, and other slower. We recommend that students submit clear copies of the above documents to minimize any delay.

Upon completion of the application process, your course consultant will contact you with the necessary documents for you to enter Singapore. Successful applicants will receive an In-Principal Approval (IPA) letter that must be presented at the immigration counter upon your arrival in Singapore.

* This is a very important document and should not be misplaced!

Conversion from IPA to Student Pass

An IPA letter is only valid for a limited duration for entry to Singapore. Students who are able to arrive early are encouraged to do so to convert their IPA into a valid Student Pass. After conversion, the Student Pass will be your permit to remain in Singapore till the completion of the course.

To convert your IPA into a student pass, the following documents must be presented at the appointment provided:

  • ICA In-Principal Approval (IPA) Letter
  • Auston Institute Letter of Offer (duly signed)
  • Passport/Travel document with a valid Visit Pass and a copy of the personal particulars page
  • Passport size photograph (against a white background)
  • ICA Medical Report Form and the original copy of the laboratory report
  • Original Birth Certificate (if applicable)
  • Original Educational Qualifications (if applicable)
  • Print-out of Student’s Pass application e-Form 16 – Signed by the student

* Students must pay a $120 issuance fee to ICA upon receiving their Student Pass.

Cancelling, Changes, and Replacements

At the end of your study, Auston Institute will assist students to cancel their student pass. ICA regulations require that a student pass is cancelled within 7 days of the course completion or termination of their study. Upon cancellation, students will receive a social visit visa and are expected to return to their home country within the validity.

While the student pass is still valid, students are required to inform Auston Institute of any changes in their details (contact information, residential address, name, etc) within 14 days of any such change. Any such notification must be done by emailing help@auston.edu.sg and visiting Student Service in person.

If you lose your student pass, students must inform ICA within 7 days. The replacement procedure will require a number of things and we will help you through it. If this has happened to you, contact us at help@auston.edu.sg.

Continuing Studies and Renewal

The student pass is only valid for your current course of study. When you change course, or progress onto a higher level course, the student pass must be renewed. In order to do this, please be sure to confirm your renewal status, before the expiry of your current student pass. To do this, please contact us at help@auston.edu.sg

Two copies of PEI-Student contract will be presented to students and students will be brief on the contract. Should no concern arise, the contract will be sign by the students and a copy will be given for students’ record.
