6. The additional measures will take effect for all students in national schools, the Institute of Technical Education, polytechnics and universities who travel out of Singapore from 1 June 2003.

ii) Foreign students who travel overseas will have to re-apply for a new student pass if they wish to return to Singapore to study. They should submit their application for the new student pass before they leave Singapore. The approval for new student passes will be subject to the following conditions:

(a) The local sponsor (where applicable) must sign an undertaking to assume full responsibility for their wards and indemnify the government for all expenses incurred, should the foreign student be issued with LOA by the school or a Home Quarantine Order (HQO) by MOH.

(b) An upfront deposit of $1,000 is required. The deposit will be used to offset the costs of medical screening and accommodation (where applicable) during the 10-day LOA upon return. Any unused portion of the deposit will be refunded after the LOA period.

(c) For foreign students who had travelled to SARS-affected countries, new student passes will only be issued upon condition 6(i) above, i.e. completion of a 10-day LOA and clearing the medical screening at the end of LOA period, being satisfactorily adhered to. -----------
