Complete the Disembarkation / Embarkation form, which you will receive while on the plane. Copies are also available at the Immigration Checkpoint at Singapore Changi Airport. You must present this with your passport and the original copy of your Student's Pass approval letter (applicable for those who require a visa to enter Singapore) to the Duty Officer at the Immigration Checkpoint upon your arrival in Singapore. Please retain the portion of the Disembarkation / Embarkation and your Student's Pass approval letter which will be returned to you, as these are required for the completion of your Student's Pass formalities at the Immigration Checkpoints Authority.

Getting to your hostel from Changi Airport

Taxi service in Singapore is easily available, convenient, and reasonably priced. If this is your first time in Singapore, we strongly advise you to take a taxi. Taxi bays are available at the Changi Airport arrival halls. Taxis are metered and fares start from S$2.80. A list of possible additional surcharges can be found posted in the taxis. For trips originating from the airport, there is a surcharge of between S$3 to S$5. Between midnight and 6.00am, there is an additional surcharge of 50% of the fare shown on the meter. Tipping is not expected. Most taxi drivers are conversant in both English and Mandarin.

If you are dissatisfied with the taxi service for whatever reasons, please note down the taxi number and time of boarding so that we may provide feedback to the respective Taxi Companies.
