Important Notes for International Students

International students who have successfully gained admission to SIT are required to pass the SIT medical examination and complete the ICA medical examination report for the issuance of a Student Pass. The ICA medical examination report must be submitted to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) upon the collection of the Student Pass. The original copy of the laboratory report for the HIV and the X-ray report must be attached to the medical report, only if the medical examination and testing are carried out overseas. At the time of submission, the laboratory reports must not be more than three months from the date of issue. Please refer to the ICA website for more information.

At present, there are very limited financial assistance schemes available for international students.
