  • Full-time International Students are required to apply for Student's Pass from the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Please refer to the NIE offer package for more details as soon as possible.

2. Valid pass to stay in Singapore (Applicable to International students doing Part-time programme)

  • The Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) does not issue Student’s Pass to student of part-time programmes. Hence, you may accept an offer of admission to the part-time programme only if you have a valid immigration pass issued by ICA or Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to study and reside in Singapore throughout the duration of your programme of study.

    If the validity period of the immigration pass expires before you can complete the programme, the Institute may have to have your enrolment withdrawn from the programme.

3. Accommodation

  • International students are advised to seek off-campus accommodation as there are limited places for on-campus accommodation in NTU. Students seeking off-campus housing should begin their search before departing for Singapore. In fact, many students make it a practice to secure a room at a student hostel in the neighbourhoods near NTU/NIE before their arrival.
