换取Student’s Pass
学生凭借IPA Letter入境新加坡后，需将临时签证换成有效的多次入境签证。为了方便学生，提供工作效率，ICA会在某些学校（如NUS）的注册时间内到学校去，学生直接在学校向ICA官员提交相关材料。
如果在注册时间材料不完整，或者ICA没有到自己所就读的学校，则需上网预约，在预约时间内到ICA大楼办理换取Student’s Pass。

续签事项
新加坡私立大学的学生签证有效期只有半年到一年，切记在到期前续签！一旦逾期，不仅要被罚5000新元，而且还会被遣送回国！
要想成功续签，学生必须在单个学期内保持至少90%的出勤率。
如果出勤率未达到90%，学生将接到警告信。此外，连续3天没来学校上课，又没有医生的证明，也将收到学校的警告信。若连续7天旷课，学校将通知移民厅。
对出勤率不足90%的学生，新加坡移民厅有权拒批他们的学生准证申请。
