Outline   C. Requirements for Admission as an Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore
To be admitted as an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore, one must be a “qualified person” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Legal Profession Act [Chapter 161, Revised Edition 2001] (Act). Before one can be admitted to the Singapore Bar as an Advocate and Solicitor, one must satisfy the other requirements of the Act which are as follows:
(a)	has attained the age of 21 years;
(b)	is of good character;
(c)	has satisfactorily served the prescribed period of pupillage for qualified persons;
(d)	has attended such courses of instruction and kept such dining terms as may be prescribed by the Board; and
(e)	has passed such examinations as may be prescribed by the Board.
Training Visit Pass (TVP) For non-Singapore Citizens who will be serving pupillage before PLC, you are further informed that it is necessary for you to obtain a Training Visit Pass (TVP). The Ministry of Manpower has informed the Board of Legal Education that upon application, foreign law students will be granted a 12-month TVP which will cover the duration of both the pupillage and the PLC. The TVP incorporates a letter of consent allowing the foreign law student to undergo the PLC during the period of the Pass. For those who will be applying for a TVP, you are requested to approach the Law Firm that you are attached to for assistance. You are also advised (in the case of non-Singapore Citizens) that a distinction has to be drawn between admission to the Singapore Bar and practising in Singapore as the latter would entail obtaining an Employment Pass which comes under the purview of the Ministry of Manpower, Singapore.
