International Student Visa Requirements

Singapore immigration requirements are set by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), not by AAC or IPU. Because this is a short 16-hour course with online or face-to-face delivery, applicants should not assume that they can obtain a Student’s Pass to attend it.

• Student’s Pass eligibility: ICA generally requires foreign students to obtain a Student’s Pass for eligible full-time study in Singapore, unless they hold an applicable valid pass or exemption. Part-time courses and courses conducted in the evening or on weekends are not eligible for a Student’s Pass.

• Private education institution requirement: Only EduTrust-certified private education institutions can offer placements to foreign students who need a Student’s Pass. AAC’s registration details alone do not confirm EduTrust status or establish that this specific course is eligible for sponsorship. Verify both points with AAC and ICA before making travel arrangements.

• Existing immigration passes: Holders of a valid Dependant’s Pass, Long-Term Visit Pass or Immigration Exemption Order may generally undertake full-time, non-religious study within the conditions of that pass. Confirm that the intended course and the applicant’s individual pass permit the proposed study.

• Short-term course exemption: ICA provides a limited exception for certain short courses completed within the validity of the Short-Term Visit Pass or 30 days, whichever is shorter. The course must be a complete, stand-alone module and must not include disqualifying practical occupational training or industrial attachment. Whether this particular 16-hour course qualifies is not publicly specified – please confirm with ICA and AAC.

• Application timing and processing fee, if a Student’s Pass is required: ICA says applications should be submitted online at least two months and no more than three months before the course begins. The application processing fee is S$45 and is non-refundable. Processing times vary by institution and case.

• Issuance fees, if approved: ICA lists S$60 for Student’s Pass issuance and an additional S$30 for a Multiple Journey Visa, if applicable.

• Documents: Depending on the application, ICA may require the school’s registration acknowledgement letter, passport biodata page, personal and residence history, educational background, financial-support details, family information where applicable, Singapore contact details and a recent passport-sized digital colour photograph. Official translations may be required for documents not in English.
