Student visa eligibility

Visa Eligibility
In Ireland, immigration for candidates wishing to apply for an Irish student visa requires that the following criteria be met.
A letter of acceptance must be provided demonstrating that an applicant has been offered a place on a full time course of study at a recognised Irish educational institution. The course must involve at least fifteen hours of study per week.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate evidence of enough funds to support themselves and any dependents joining them in the country.
It must be shown that the course fees have been paid in full.
Private medical insurance must be arranged and documentary evidence of this must be provided.
It must be the candidate's demonstrable intention to return to their own country at the end of their period of study.
In addition, although English is described in the Irish constitution as the second official language, the first being Irish Gaelic, it is nonetheless spoken far more widely and is the primary language in which tuition will be given.
As a result, candidates applying for an Irish study visa must be able to show proficiency in the English language to a sufficient degree to allow them to successfully pursue the course.
Working
Successful applicants in possession of an Irish study permit are permitted to work in Ireland part time in order to supplement their income. Students may work part-time up to a maximum of 20 hours per week.
