Student's Pass
Singapore's main study immigration pass for foreigners accepted into an approved full-time course. Part-time, evening, or weekend courses are not eligible. Holders of some other long-term passes may study without a Student's Pass for non-religious full-time courses while that pass remains valid.
Status note. ICA states that a foreigner accepted for full-time studies in Singapore generally needs a Student's Pass unless holding another qualifying pass. Procedures differ by institution type. Singapore has no dedicated digital-nomad visa in this record.
