Accommodation

NUS provides a great range of on-campus accommodation to “non-graduating” (exchange) students. Places are not guaranteed.

NUS offers advice for on-campus (see 'After Applying') and off-campus accommodation.

Visas

The visa application process is linked to your university application. As a general rule, you don’t need to apply for a visa directly since it’s issued with your in-principle approval (IPA) letter which is provided by your host institution. Exchange students are also required to hold a valid Student Pass issued by the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA). You will be notified of the Student Pass application by your host institution.

For more information on visas, please refer to the High Commission of the Republic of Singapore here and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority here.

NUS also provides information on obtaining a student pass, via the Incoming Exchangers link, then After Applying under the Step 4: Student's Pass Application heading.

Health and insurance

Every international student must take up the compulsory NUS Group Medical Insurance Scheme which is included in the Miscellaneous Student Fees. More information can be found here (see 'After Applying').

All registered NUS non-graduating (exchange) students will be covered under blanket travel insurance. This insurance covers students for official NUS trips taken during exchange. Find out more here (under After Applying - Step 3: Health and Travel Insurance).

When travelling on a Monash Abroad approved program, you are automatically covered under the Monash University Student Travel Insurance policy. This will provide cover to and from your exchange.

Orientation and extra-curricular 

NUS offers further information on the activity-filled freshman orientation programme for new students, as well as the many sports and 200+ student organisations for students to join.

Cost of living
