Relevant news from Singapore: International students studying in Singapore can apply for PR (Permanent Residence Permit) without an invitation letter!

Whether it is primary or secondary level or undergraduate and postgraduate level, more and more students choose to study in Singapore! There are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of which is the welfare policy provided by Singapore for international students.

Accompanying Study Policy

The elite education, bilingual teaching, diversion system and other education systems all show the high quality of Singapore's education. Singapore's education is becoming more and more famous in the world, so more and more international students come to study in Singapore. In order to help children to adapt to studying abroad more quickly and study with more peace of mind, Singapore has introduced a humanized policy - accompanying study permit.

As long as they are students under the age of 16, their mothers/grandmothers can apply for a study permit to accompany them to study in Singapore. And during the period of the accompanying study pass, mothers/grandmothers can fly to Singapore at will without applying for a separate tourist visa.

Generally speaking, accompanying mothers need to stay in Singapore for one year before they can apply for a work pass. However, if you are applying for EP or SP, as long as there are employers willing to hire and there is a quota for applying for a work pass, the accompanying mother can apply for a Singapore work pass to legally work.

Permanent Residence Permit Application

Relevant news from Singapore: International students studying in Singapore can apply for PR (Permanent Residence Permit) without an invitation letter!

Since the end of 2017, the process of applying to become a Singapore PR (permanent resident) has been simplified - applicants just need to submit the application materials online, unlike the previous need to make an appointment in advance and wait for a long time.

Why is this policy so attractive? If you apply for PR, you can live and enter Singapore freely without giving up your Chinese nationality! After holding PR for 2 years, you can apply to become a Singapore citizen, have Singapore nationality, and enjoy Singapore's education, medical care, work and other benefits!

Singapore Immigration

If you are an international graduate from a government institution, you are eligible to apply for a green card and can enjoy Singapore welfare benefits. After applying for a green card, you can immediately sponsor your spouse and children to obtain a green card, and sponsor your parents and parents-in-law to live in Singapore and obtain the qualification for multiple trips to Singapore.

After obtaining a green card, you can enjoy benefits such as housing and medical insurance. In the future, when your children are of appropriate age, the probability of applying for admission to a government school will be better, and you can also get a Singapore government scholarship or tuition loan. After you have Singapore citizenship and become a Singapore citizen, you can apply for a Singapore passport and you can travel to 161 countries without a visa, and travel freely in the United States, Canada, Japan, the European Union and other countries!

Singapore Scholarship

The money and energy that the Singapore government invests in education is worth every country to study. For students with excellent grades, the Singapore government often grants high scholarships. Singapore cherishes talents very much and will use various welfare policies to attract talents.

There are two main types of scholarships in Singapore universities: Singapore Enterprise Scholarship and Singapore Government Scholarship. Among them, the government scholarship is a scholarship provided by the Singapore government specially for international students from China. International students who receive this scholarship can get a 65%-80% tuition reduction. If you are still unable to afford the tuition, you can also apply for an interest-free loan of up to 80% of the self-financed part from Singapore schools, so that there is no problem in completing their studies in Singapore!

In addition, there is also the SM1 (Senior Middle) scholarship program, which is specially designed for outstanding Chinese students, allowing some international students to study in Singapore for free.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
