Spouse(s) and/or child(ren) of graduate students who do not require an entry visa to Singapore or who applied for an entry visa in their country of origin may approach ISC for assistance with the extension of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) after arrival.
The following documents have to be submitted to the ISC, together with the necessary application forms:
- Form 14 and Form V39I (These forms can be obtained from the ISC)
- Passport
- 2 photos of spouse and/or child(ren)
- Original copy of birth certificate (for child)
- Original copy of marriage certificate (for spouse)
- Student's Pass and Disembarkation/Embarkation Cards
First-time applicants will also have to fill in a Sponsorship Form [PDF | 21KB] at the ISC. You are required to bring a friend to ISC to witness and sign on the sponsorship form, when ISC informs you to collect the support letter.
Graduate students who are on NTU research scholarships and who wish to bring their children must additionally furnish ISC with a letter from their supervisor/School to endorse that the arrival of their children will not affect their research activities. Support will not be given without this endorsement. This requirement will not apply to Coursework students as they are self-funding.
With the support letter from the ISC, you may submit your application for the Social Visit Pass extension at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
For extension of Social Visit Pass, your spouse and/or child(ren) will have to go to ICA personally.
The period of extension is decided by ICA. If it is more than 6 months, ICA will request your spouse and/or child(ren) to submit a medical report.
