The processing time of the application at ICA will normally take about 4-6 weeks. Afterwhich the school whom the student applied with, will get notification on whether it's approved or rejected.

The total cost will depend alot on the school choose. Course fee for English will range from about 1k to 2k plus per level which is around 3-4 months. The whole duration of the English program will normally be around 1 year, unless it's a proper English school like British Council. Some school will require the student to take a test to determine how long the student will need to study for while some schools just let the student choose. Besides the course fee, schools will charge a processing/admin fee ranging from $200 plus up to 1k. Other than these fee, there will also be course fee insurance and maybe health insurance fee which the student will need to pay.

Documents for student pass application are quite standard:
1) Passport
2) Birth Certificate
3) Highest qualification certificate & transcript
4) Bank statement if the student is coming from a visa required country
5) Parents income details if the student is coming from a visa required country

For PRC, the bank statement must be at least SGD30k deposit in a fixed deposit for at least 6 mths. All the documents except for the bank statement, must be 公证 which is just translation. It can be easy done in China at a fee per booklet.

Hope it helps bro.

Maybe like some brother here who agreed that after a year of study here for English, and she can't even make a simple English conversation might likely be the cause. Acutally she went to ask her school for help, and they told her it was quite tough for her to get renewal.

I'm thinking of getting her application reference number and help her do a check next Monday, at least I will know the real cause.

Thank again!

ICA normally will not disclose the real cause bro.

Have she exceeded the study duration of the English course she enrolled for? Schools will register their courses with the relevant authorities and will inform them on the max duration of the course. If the max duration have been reached, it will be very difficult to extend the student pass unless the student upgrade to another course like Diploma etc.

[techiedick]

from what i know from chio bu from china who was here by herself, she call up the singapore mission in shanghai and enquired on how to come to sg to study.

Our sg mission just ask for $200 admin fee and she was here after 3 weeks.

so go thru official channel is so much cheaper.

she is already working here, not a FL.

Bro Mrxhub,

it is not becos she is a Beijing or ShangHai person which easily get visa and approval to singapore, she is from Xi'an.

Any chinese going to the sg mission can do it, just only a waiting time. if the approval is given needs only fly to the 2 cities to get the documents.

I know a lot of agents are sucking blood asking for $10K. Ask all the FL in GL, the agents are making them work very hard for the money...some dun make enuff here the first time to settle this agent...I heard enuff stories about this....

Horsebite,

ask your friend to call the sg mission for procedure, what MrXhub is suggesting is making the agents rich... making all the blood money... or pussy money ... very unethical just like pimps....

this is my opinion, i may get zap by OKTs and agents so be it...

bro from wat i personally know alot of genuine schools won't help u renew if the student has poor attendance (leading the school to suspect she's not really studying here and hence will affect their reputation) from wat you have written so far after one whole year of exposure to english here (almost everything here is available in english!!! road signs, media, tv, radio etc) no doubt the ICA officer suspect her lor wish you the best of luck and post the results here if u can!
