2. COVID-19 Update (3)

 

(Adapted from previous ICSS social media posts)
 

Replacement of Expired 90 Day Vignette

 

If you applied for a Student Route visa last year, but remained in Singapore due to COVID-19 situation, your 90 day vignette has likely expired.

You will need to apply for a replacement through https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/country-selection.

Under "Confirm your visa type", select "BRP Vignette Transfer".

The cost of replacing an expired 90 day vignette is S$300.

You will need to make an appointment to resubmit your biometric information at VFS Global.

The cost of your replacement 90 day vignette is usually non-refundable even if you do not travel to the UK before it expires.

Confirm your department's mode of teaching for academic year 2021-22 before you apply.

New Application of Student Route Visa

Processing usually takes around a month, so you are advised to apply in late July 2021 or early August 2021 to be in the UK for academic year 2021-22.
