We warmly welcome you to Ngee Ann Polytechnic!
As the commencement of your studies in Ngee Ann Polytechnic are subject to the approval of a valid Student's Pass (STP) issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), it is important that you apply for and obtain a new STP before the start of the school term.
Even if your former secondary school's STP has not expired, you are still required to apply for a new STP.
Failure to do so will render you liable to appropriate action, including the withdrawal from the course offered.
To help you with your online STP application, please refer to the step-by-step guide below. If you have any questions regarding your application, please contact the STP administrator at stp_entryrequest@np.edu.sg for assistance.
We wish you an enriching learning journey with Ngee Ann Polytechnic!

Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) & Immigration Exemption Order (IEO) Holders, please take note of the following:
- Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) & Immigration Exemption Order (IEO) holders are not required to obtain a Student's Pass, provided your LTVP / IEO remains valid while studying at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
- If you choose to remain on your LTVP or IEO, please submit a copy of your current valid LTVP or IEO (front & back) using this form @ https://for.edu.sg/valid-pass-proof for our records.
- You are to ensure that your LTVP / IEO remains valid (i.e. not expired or terminated) throughout your duration of study. If your LTVP or IEO is expiring / is going to be terminated while studying at NP, you are required to apply for a STP to cover the remaining duration of your studies and avoid overstaying. Please contact the Student’s Pass Administrator at stp_entryrequest@np.edu.sg to request for a STP application number for the above purpose.
Dependent's Pass Holders, please take note of the following:
- While studying at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Dependent's Pass (DP) holders will not be able to engage in work beyond course requirements (including vacation internships).
- DP holders will need to apply for a separate LOC issued by Ministry of Manpower (MOM) before commencing internship, as part of the course requirements. This processing time takes at least 4 weeks. If there are changes to the internship company, DP holders will need to submit a new application, for a new MOM-issued LOC to be obtained before the internship starts with this new company.
- Hence all DP holders are strongly encouraged to apply for the STP at this point of enrolment. Please consider Option 1 below as STP holders are not subjected to the above work / internship limitations.
Option 1: Follow the step-by-step guide below to apply for and obtain a STP from ICA, which is valid from the date of issuance, covering the duration of your study at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Please note that your DP will be terminated by ICA on the date of STP card issuance, as you are only allowed to hold one valid stay pass.
Option 2: If you choose to remain on your DP while studying at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, you are to ensure that your DP remains valid (i.e. not expired or terminated) throughout your duration of study. Please submit a copy of your current valid DP (front & back) using this form @ https://for.edu.sg/valid-pass-proof for our records.
Important: If your DP is expiring / is going to be terminated while studying at NP, you are required to apply for a STP to cover the remaining duration of your studies and avoid overstaying. Please contact the Student’s Pass Administrator at stp_entryrequest@np.edu.sg to request for a STP application number for the above purpose.
