At present, many countries do not support accompanying students to study in their countries, in contrast, Singapore allows a mother, grandmother, or one of her grandmothers to study with her, and after applying for one year's study with the student, they can also apply for a legal work permit.

 

The bilingual teaching and cultural environment of Singapore, which is dominated by Chinese, are unique charms for Chinese primary and secondary school students who choose to study abroad. Moreover, the humanized "accompany education policy" introduced by the Singapore government is more conducive to Chinese children's study abroad than many developed countries, such as the United States and Canada, which do not allow mothers to accompany them to study abroad. During the period of the Accompany Study Permit, they can enter and leave Singapore at will without having to apply for a tourist visa separately.

 

Requirements of children of different ages to accompany them to study:

3-12 years old: In Singapore, parents are required to accompany children to study. Children are young and need parents' company and guidance.

12-16 years old: Parents can choose to study with or without accompanying students. If not, they can choose to live in school or host family.

Parents must hold a tourist visa when entering China. After successfully entering, they can apply for a student visa only after their children have changed their student pass. The validity period of the accompanying visa is 1 year. Meanwhile, according to the time of the child's visa, if it is less than 1 year, the parents are not allowed to apply for the accompanying visa.

​

Parents on a student visa are not allowed to work for the first year; But one year after a student enters primary or secondary school, the mother can legally work; At the same time, local citizens or permanent residents are required to sponsor the application for an accompanying pass. As a result, many parents use study abroad advisers to find sponsors.
