If approved, ICA issues an IPA letter; for students who need an entry visa, it is typically included within the IPA, and you use the IPA to enter Singapore and then complete formalities to get the Student’s Pass.

Some short courses may be exempt from requiring a Student’s Pass if they meet ICA’s exemption criteria (e.g., short duration and other conditions).
