New Application
The general processing time for an application is two weeks. Some applications may take longer to process. You will be notified of the outcome using the e-Service.
You do not need to be in Singapore while your application is being processed. As such, we recommend you apply for a Student’s Pass before arriving in Singapore as you cannot extend your stay while processing is underway. If your application is approved,
you can then enter Singapore to complete the formalities required to issue your Student’s Pass.
Renewal
The general processing time for a renewal application is five working days, excluding the date of submission. Some applications may take longer to process. You will be notified of the outcome using the e-Service.
