Type of study visa in Ireland

1, entry visa

Ireland only issues entry visas, so in any case, visas are valid for three months from the date of issuance. When entering the country, immigration officials will routinely ask immigrants, so if you don't have enough evidence to prove that you are a real student, you may be refused entry. Generally speaking, students should carry their passports, air tickets, admission notices, host family addresses and cash or traveler's checks with them. It is recommended that the amount of cash or traveler's checks be more than $3,000, otherwise the immigration officials have the right to think that you are unable to pay the living expenses during your study period and tend to work illegally.

2. Residence permit

Students are required to apply for a registration visa within one month after entering the country with their passports, school certificates and bank deposit certificates (about $2,000 or more) issued by students in Irish banks. The number of years of residence obtained is the same as the time for students to apply for courses.

Step 3 renew your visa

Students must apply for the second stage of study before the end of each study stage. Students can apply for visa extension by presenting their passports, new admission notices (from the same school or another school), proof of paid fees and other documents. Generally, the application time takes 1 ~ 7 days. Immigration will not extend visas to students whose attendance rate is less than 85%.

1, Irish study abroad policy-tuition discount

In addition, if China students apply for Irish universities, Ireland will comprehensively evaluate their high school scores and IELTS level, and then there will be different degrees of tuition fee reduction and corresponding preferential policies.

2. Irish study abroad policy-visa policy

Recently, some universities in Ireland have contacted relevant departments in the specific implementation process, and the policies are inclined. For example, China students who have obtained Irish university degrees (including bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree) can renew their student visas for another two years, during which they are allowed to find jobs in Ireland, and after working for four years, they will be granted long-term residency in Ireland. At present, this policy has entered the discussion stage, and some graduates in skills-deficient industries have enjoyed the preferential treatment of this policy, such as software industry, medical insurance, architecture and other majors.

The Irish government hopes to attract outstanding students who really want to study in Ireland through preferential policies. For example, substantial progress has been made on visas.
