ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS
Travel
Participants’ travel arrangements will be managed by the STI appointed authorized travel agent. Participants are responsible for obtaining their own visas, where applicable, including any transit visas needed for travel to and from Singapore and their home countries. Participants should ensure that their passports are valid for at least six months beyond the end of the stipulated period for the training event.
Participants are required to arrive on time, attend all sessions, and stay through the last day of a course. The invitation may be withdrawn if a participant cannot comply with these requirements. If a participant has to be repatriated for any reason before the end of the training event, the sponsoring agency is responsible for the costs of the repatriation, and the STI must be reimbursed for all expenditures made on behalf of the participant.
In case of a withdrawal, expenses such as cancellation fees or the full amount of the prepaid ticket must be reimbursed to the STI. Similarly, if a participant does not complete the course or seminar, travel and miscellaneous expenses must be reimbursed to the STI.
Living Allowance
Participants are provided with a living allowance for the duration of the course. This allowance is intended to cover the cost of meals and participants’ incidental expenses.
Miscellaneous
The STI will send details on travel, settling-in, and other arrangements to each participant after he or she has accepted an invitation to attend a course.
