The ICA Student Pass is a type of visa issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore. It's designed specifically for foreign students who have been accepted into an educational institution in Singapore.
International students need an ICA Student Pass for several reasons:
Legal Status: The Student Pass allows international students to legally reside in Singapore for the duration of their studies. Without it, they would be considered as staying illegally in the country.
Access to Services: The Student Pass often serves as a form of identification and may be required to access certain services and facilities in Singapore.
Regulation of Studies: The Student Pass helps the Singapore government monitor and regulate the number of international students in the country, ensuring that they are genuinely here for educational purposes.
Protection of Students: The process of obtaining a Student Pass includes checks on the educational institution and the course of study, helping to protect students from fraudulent educational schemes.
Control of Immigration: The Student Pass system allows the Singapore government to control immigration and maintain security by keeping track of who is entering and leaving the country.
It's important to note that the Student Pass is not a work visa, and international students at Capital College are not allowed employment while studying in Singapore.
