A study permit is not a visa, the CA$23,448 is not a fee, and the attestation letter rule changed on 1 January 2026. The whole route in order — what you need, what it costs, how long it takes, and where files actually fail.
Read the guide →You can apply to most colleges yourself, for free. So what does an agent or a platform actually add, and when is each one worth it? An honest comparison of the three routes, including the cases where you should use none of them.
Read the guide →Six months of teaching, then a six-month industrial attachment on a Training Work Permit. S$5,800 at STEi, payable only after your Student Pass is approved. What each college asks for, compared.

Read the guide →A PGWP cannot be renewed, and the bridging permit everyone recommends requires a PR application you cannot file without an invitation. The options that actually exist, and the date that decides which of them are still open to you.
