For a 12-month course in Singapore, the Student Pass is typically valid for the full duration of your program - 12 months.

This pass is linked to your specific course and institution. If your studies extend beyond the initial period, you must apply for a renewal before it expires. The Student Pass also allows part-time work (up to 16 hours/week during term) at approved institutions, subject to institutional approval.

Apply for your Student Pass at least one month before your course starts, as processing times are subject to change. Maintaining a valid Student Pass is essential for your legal stay in Singapore.
