What documents do I need to prepare to study in Singapore?

With its strong and perfect education system, Singapore has always been one of the most popular countries in Asia to study abroad. Before studying in Singapore, many students were not very clear about the preparation for studying in Singapore, let alone how to adapt to the study life in Singapore. Let's take a look at the preparation strategies for studying in Singapore. 1. What documents do I need to prepare to study in Singapore?

When preparing your carry-on luggage before departure, be sure to check carefully whether you have all the important documents. The following documents may need customs inspection at any time, and will also come in handy in Singapore's future study and life. Be sure to keep it properly. The following documents need to be carried with you, not checked in the suitcase. The documents required for studying in Singapore mainly include:

1, original passport.

2. Passport size (2 inches smaller) 2-4 color photos on a white background (Immigration Bureau 1/ University Student ID 1).

3. Admission notice and confirmation letter from the University of Singapore (please print 2 copies of the attachment).

4. The student visa approval letter from Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICASTPIPALetter) (please print 2 copies in the attachment).

5. MOEEntryApproval from the Ministry of Education of Singapore (please print 2 copies in the attachment).

6. The health entry declaration card (ICAarrivalCard/ declaration letter) of Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau (declared three days before the plane takes off and will be sent to you separately).

7. Original IELTS test report (not required if the original has been mailed to the school).

8. Original graduation certificate of China school and translation certificate of notary office.

9. Original degree certificate of China University and English version certificate.

Second, prepare for studying in Singapore

1. Items needed to study in Singapore

(1) Carry daily necessities and stationery.

Students are advised to bring "travel equipment" toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, shampoo and bath products. Because the price of daily necessities in Singapore is not high, shampoo and shower gel are bulky, which are not suitable for extrusion and are easy to be damaged during transportation, so please carry them carefully! There are all kinds of life supermarkets in Singapore, and there will be a FairPrice comprehensive supermarket to buy daily necessities within 3 kilometers. Stationery can be properly prepared, and stationery in Singapore is more expensive.

(2) Precautions for carrying drugs

Daily medicines can be carried, such as cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, diarrhea medicine, dermatological medicine, band-aid, etc. You can prepare some vitamin tablets and digestion tablets to prevent indigestion caused by acclimatization. The medical expenses in Singapore are relatively high, and the purchase of drugs requires the doctor's advice from a doctor in Singapore, so the commonly used drugs are well prepared. But don't eat too much, because a considerable number of drugs may have passed the shelf life before use.

For people with weak physique (especially girls), due to the large latitude span, various physiological disorders are likely to occur. If possible, you can bring some nursed back to health drugs or supplements.

If there are problems with teeth and eyes, students are advised to know their physical condition before going abroad. Treating teeth and eyes in Singapore is very expensive. If students have "wisdom teeth" or other dental and eye problems, please arrange for doctors to treat them in China.

(3) Clothing and bedding

Singapore is an island country located in the tropics. It is summer all year round, with an average temperature of 25-32 degrees. Usually wear casual clothes, mainly summer clothes, and often wear T-shirts, jeans, trousers, casual shorts and so on. However, due to the complete air conditioning in Singapore, it is recommended to bring 1-2 thin coat or sweater just in case. Students are not allowed to wear flip-flops or slippers to school. Be sure to pay attention.

Bedding, dormitories generally have mattresses. If you want to bring it, it is suggested that pillowcases+sheets+thin air-conditioned quilts are enough. Summer sleeping mats and the like are too heavy, so you can buy them in Singapore. Two sets of pillowcases and sheets (standard pillowcases 45*70cm) and one or two thin quilts. These things are also sold in supermarkets on and off campus, but the price is slightly more expensive. In addition, although Singapore is a tropical country, there are few mosquito bites, so there is no need to prepare mosquito nets.

(4) Electrical appliances and conversion plugs

If students don't have a personal laptop or want to buy a brand-new laptop, please wait until Singapore to buy it. Some brands offer extra discounts to college students in Singapore, such as Apple laptops. The purchase price of students in Singapore will be lower than that in China 1000-3500 RMB. If you bring electronic products from China into Singapore, please pay attention to the plug problem. You can prepare a domestic patch panel and a power conversion plug.

2. Precautions for packing luggage

(1) checked baggage

Airlines have different standards and strict restrictions on checked baggage. Students, please be sure to check the airline website or call the local customer service number to confirm before you leave. In addition, please confirm with the airline in advance if there is any special baggage that exceeds the volume.

(2) Carry-on luggage

Under normal circumstances, the volume of carry-on baggage on international flights shall not exceed 20*40*55cm, and the total weight shall not exceed 7kg. Due to the different regulations of airlines, please refer to the ticket label.

The volume of liquid articles (liquid, gel, aerosol) carried with you shall not exceed 100ml, and the quantity is not limited, so it needs to be placed in a transparent and airtight plastic belt. A container with a volume exceeding 100m is not allowed to go through customs even if the container is not full.

(3) Input instructions

Prepare the materials required for entry according to the above certificate list. At the entry checkpoint, the customs staff will intercept the left half of the entry card and keep the right half (commonly known as the small white card) for themselves. Students must take good care of this little white card.

After successfully entering Singapore, the first thing to do is to log in to official website, Immigration Singapore (ICA) and make an appointment to get a student visa. On the appointed date and time (generally, you can arrive 15 minutes in advance according to the appointed time), you can bring all the information: offer, IPA, letter, passport and passport copy, white card at the time of entry, passport-sized photo on a white background within three months, form e-Form 16 (signed), receipt of application fee for IPALetter and medical report.

4. Handle bank cards, telephone cards and transportation cards.

(1) China bank card and Singapore bank account opening.

Students can use China UnionPay card to withdraw money and spend money in Singapore, but please note that not all places accept China UnionPay card. If you don't want to open an account in a bank in Singapore, you need to prepare two domestic bank cards for living in Singapore.

(2) Telephone cards

China's calling card must remember to open international roaming and try to open it at home. Otherwise, there is no international roaming, and domestic mobile phones can't receive any SMS verification code, so it is very troublesome to hold a meeting in Singapore.

(3) Transportation card

It is very convenient to take the subway, bus and taxi in Singapore, and it is very cost-effective to pay by mobile phone or get a transportation card. Traffic cards can be purchased at the manual window of subway stations or convenience stores all over the island. The fee for these two cards is S $5, which is non-refundable. Both cards need to be pre-stored at least S $7, which can be used on buses and subways after recharging. These two cards can also be used in convenience stores.

Step 5 rent a house

Schools in Singapore basically have dormitories, but most of them are far away from schools, so it is not as convenient as renting their own houses, so most students rent their own houses.

(1) There are actually many such apps through the Internet. The situation in most places is basically the same. For example, if you want to rent an apartment and have a special institution, it is very convenient to download the APP of the relevant institution to fill in the information and find the house you want.

(2) Find it yourself manually, that is, rent it from other channels. Of course, in fact, it is difficult to be guaranteed, and there are certain risks. It is suggested that you can find an intermediary. Although you may have to pay some agency fees, the housing is reliable.

(3) Through the introduction of friends, this method is more reliable than finding it by yourself, and it will not cost extra money, but it can only be satisfied if you have good friends in China.

No matter which way you look for a house, you should put safety first, not money. I suggest that you must sign a contract to effectively protect your basic rights and interests.
