New student pass application
This applies if you are not currently studying in Singapore, and do not hold a valid Student Pass.
Step 1
Return your Fee Payment Advice Form together with Semester 1 Tuition Fees, Form 12 and Student Contract to confirm your place at LASALLE.
Step 2
The Division of Admissions (DA) will register your application for a Student Pass on ICA’s SOLAR+ system, and obtain your SOLAR+ Application Number.
Step 3
Your SOLAR+ Application Number will then be emailed to you and your agent (if you have one).
Step 4
Apply for your Student Pass online within seven days of receiving your SOLAR+ Application Number. At the website, click on ‘PEO’, then ‘Student’.
Note: You will need your SOLAR+ Application Number in order to apply for the Student Pass.
Step 5
When you have successfully submitted your SOLAR+ Application, it will be routed as “Receiving Attention” according to ICA.
Step 6
ICA will take about 6–8 weeks to process an application. You can check the status of your application online, from the SOLAR+ website, using your SOLAR+ Application Number.
Step 7
Once ICA has approved your application, an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter will be issued.
You are no longer required to obtain the physical single-journey entry visa as the IPA letter will serve as evidence of the grant of the Visa. DA will email a copy of your IPA letter to you.
Step 8
Go for a medical check-up. Ensure your doctor uses the medical report attached to your IPA letter.
If you have never studied in Singapore, you can go to a registered General Practitioner in your home country for your medical check-up. However, your doctor must use and complete ICA’s prescribed form. If you have studied in Singapore before, you must do your medical check-up in Singapore.
