Extension/Re-application of Student's Pass

Any extension or re-application of the Student’s Pass (STP) will be treated as a new application. Applicants are required to undergo the full application process for the STP, and applicable fees will apply.

STP In-Principle-approval (IPA) letter does not constitute legal extension of stay in Singapore.

You must ensure that you have a valid Pass at all times while in Singapore. 

Please be informed that overstaying is a punishable offence under the Immigration Act. If you overstay beyond the validity of your immigration pass, you may be subjected to a composition fine and prosecution in court.
