Student Support Services
Student's Pass
All international students are required to hold a valid Student’s
Pass issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority
(ICA). Before departing their home country for Singapore,
they are required to apply for this pass (Form 16) using the
Student’s Pass On-Line Application and Registration
(SOLAR) system at the ICA website:
The SOLAR application number and other details needed by
applicants to log in to the SOLAR system will be sent to them
respectively.
Those who require a visa to enter Singapore are required to
submit Form 16 in their hometown before departing for
Singapore. When successful in their application, they will
receive from NTU the In-Principle Approval Letter for a
Student’s Pass cum the single-journey entry visa to enter
Singapore.
The Student Affairs Office main office administers Student’s
Pass applications by undergraduates.
Student’s Pass matters for graduate and exchange/
non-graduating students are handled by the International
Student Centre:
Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme
The Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme is
applicable to full-time and part-time undergraduates as well
as NIE students, providing personal accident insurance
coverage of up to $3,000 per accident (out of this $3,000, a
cap of $1,000 is applied on outpatient expenses). NIE
students are advised to contact their Student Services Centre
for any enquiry on the scheme.
Group Hospitalisation and Surgical Insurance
Falling ill and being hospitalised in Singapore can be a
financial drain on international students. Not only are
international students not entitled to the medical subsidies
that Singapore citizens enjoy, hospitals also typically require a
deposit of the entire estimated bill size upon admission.
