How much is the issuance fee for a Singapore Student's Pass?
The issuance fee for a Singapore Student's Pass is S$60. This is separate from the S$45 processing fee charged when you first submit your application, and the pass is now issued digitally, with no physical card produced for either fee.
Your Singapore Student's Pass issuance fee is S$60, payable once your application is approved and the pass is generated in digital form. This charge sits on top of the S$45 processing fee you pay at the application stage, so the two should not be confused with one another. Together, these fees make up the main government charges for getting your pass issued.
Breakdown of Student's Pass Fees
| Fee Stage | Fee Type | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| At application | Processing fee | S$45 |
| On approval | Issuance fee | S$60 |
Additional Points About Payment
- ICA now issues the Student's Pass digitally rather than as a physical card
- Where an entry visa is needed, it is automatically included in your IPA letter at no extra separate visa fee mentioned
- Both fees are paid through the official ICA application channel, not to a third party
Budgeting for both fees together, rather than only the processing fee, helps you avoid a last minute surprise once your application is approved and the issuance stage begins.
My Advice
Keep S$105 in total set aside for the processing and issuance fees combined, and pay each through ICA's official channel only. Since there is no physical card, save your digital confirmation receipt as proof of payment and issuance.
