  • Immigration Exemption Order holder; or
  • A visitor who will be attending a short course, the duration of which is less than the outstanding validity of their short term visit pass.

Each student pass varies in terms of validity, documentation requirements and conditions and there are a large number of student passes available. See the ICA website for more information.

Top Tips

01 A service of SingPost, vPost, allows users to set up overseas mailing addresses in the US, Europe, and Japan so that buyers can purchase from there.
02 When searching for rental properties find listings that are not co-broked. You will be charged commission on co-broked properties.
03 When searching for property look for any nearby spaces that may be built on. There is a lot of development taking place and building work is noisy.
