Try to find another institution who is reputed and recognised by MoM.

In your present case, nothing much can be done as your student pass with the same institution was rejected twice already. Try to speak your institution to check with MoM, to find out the reason for rejection. Only then you can appeal with valid rationale. If the reason is due to institution then better follow my first point I.e. try to find luck in a reputed institution here. Good luck

@surya...Thank you for your reply. I am going to talk to my institute today only.
But if my visa rejected 2 times it will be okay if I applied for new institute again?
Both times ICA didn't give reason of rejection.
Should I appeal to ICA with same institute or should I apply to new college?

As I said, speak to the institution administrator to check with MoM for the reason (if they don’t know yet). If the reason is the institution recognition at MoM then better apply under a recognised institution in Singapore.

Yes I had talk with them. They said they will get letter on monday so they will decide what action to take next either appeal or anything?
Do you know what is procedure of appeal and how many weeks it will take?
Also can i get tourist visa during my appeal against rejection?

Your student pass rejection has no impact on tourist visa approval process.

Appealing without rectifying the issue of rejection had no value. So, wait and find out the reason before appealing. Appeal can be applied by your institution with valid rationale at MoM site. It depends from a week to a month or even more. There is no hard line rules to tell exact days will take during appeal but should be faster than the usual verification at the time of applying first time. Good luck

Note: Please avoid sending PM as we don’t encourage sending to us. Every discussion has to be in public forum so that others will get benefits in future.

Surya: You wrote "MoM" several times in this thread.. To my knowledge, student passes are applied for and issued by ICA, not MoM.
If so, "MoM" in your above posts should be replaced by "ICA". (But I agree to the rest of their content and the advice you gave.)

Agreed Beepi. Sorry, it was typo. Should be read as ICA instead. Thanks for correcting.

I have never heard about this and don't believe it to be true.
But of course you should keep your options open and also apply in other countries.

Please follow what I said in my first reply. To know the reason of rejection. As you never disclosed the institution name, so I am unable to comment but there are many unknown or lower ranked institutions have opened up their bussiness to attract students here, ICA won’t recognise those institutions and won’t give student passes so frequently to them.

It’s always recommended to try a better institution here where getting approval of student passe is much higher. Good luck

Note: About 5yrs ban is theoretically not possible as those kind of bans are given to people involved in criminal activities or scams or any other serious offenses. Never come across a person banned for 1 year even because his or her student pass was rejected three times (leave alone 5yrs ban).

Now I am thinking of applying for Post graduate diploma or advance diploma course in London school of business and finance.

Possibly applying diploma course which are meant for undergraduate students could be the reason of rejection.

Anyway these institutions do not come under premiere institutions list here, so getting students pass is always challenging.

Current Update :
I talked with my last institute : STEi institute Pte Ltd. They said might be I am graduate and applied for diploma course that's why ICA rejected the application.
So they are still saying we will appeal for it.
But am not against it.
What u suggest??? Should I appeal?

Meanwhile I am searching for suitable course for me and going to apply for Advance diploma course.
What u suggest? Should I apply to other institute with advance diploma course now?
What will be rejection chances?

Almost certainly Yes - if your husband earns less than S$6000/month.
That is the minimum required to bring close family members (incl. spouse) - and your application was probably seen as attempt to circumvent that requirement.

It is "sponsor", not "sponcer".
Since all past applications are recorded electronically and available to the processing officer at a mouse click, I do not think applying again will change anything. But your are welcome to try - and please report the results here, so we can all learn from it.

Whether it is a current account or a savings account? My sponsor is my husband and I can send a six month statement to his savings account? Please guiding me anyone

Applying again with no change in circumstances is a waste of time, as it is certain to be rejected again.
The requirements for a student visa are published here:
https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/STP/apply
In addition, as I said before, you will be rejected if there are suspicions that you are trying to circumvent the S$6000/month minimum income for DP. So I think you better wait until your husband earns that much, as it is also the minimum you will need to afford a reasonable lifestyle here.

If there is a change in circumstances that removes the previous rejection reason, you may have a chance.
But as I said, you will be hard-pressed to remove the suspicion of trying to circumvent the DP requirements (which are there for good reason - or so the authorities think).

Hello all,

I'm currently in India and have a valid LTVP from Singapore, as I did my bachelor's in arts from Lasalle college of the arts and graduated last year.it was important for me to go back home so I left Singapore in December 2020.
I got through FZD SCHOOL OF ART for a specialized DIPLOMA IN CONCEPT ART. I applied for a student pass application in Jan 2021,course intake month is June 2021 which got rejected from ICA. After discussing with the college I sent an appeal for my student pass to ICA for reconsidering my application in March 2021 which was also rejected.
my college states if i were to come back and apply for the student pass, there would be more of a chance to get the student pass... im not sure what i should do as i dont know why my appeal is being rejected and its making me extremly anxious. any advice is greatful !

Cara: With an overstay record, you will not under any circumstances get a pass approval - no matter how often or when you apply.
The only thing you can do is contact MoM or ICA (which one is the overstay record with?) and ask for how long you will be banned and if there is anything you can do to lift the ban.

@safinafirth If the rejection reason was your husband's unemployment - and he now earns above the DP threshold (which will also be used for LTVP in your case), then you have a chance of approval (provided there are no other rejection reasons, of course).

When i check my eform, the admin key in my information wrongly so i re-apply again with the same agency last Oct, and today i received it shows i got rejected again. What am i supposed to do? I ask my agent for my solar number to check my eform, they don't want to give it to me and they told me to write my own self appeal letter which i don't know how to do it. What am i supposed to do now?

@Suresh rsk You should try to convince the authorities

that your main motivation to come to Singapore is to study, and NOT to live with your father (which won't be possible anyway, as WP holders must stay in company-provided premises).
that you have sufficient money to finance your studies and life in Singapore, without relying on your father's (very low) income. Note: No paid work is allowed on a student pass!
