Hello gurus in the house,i need your sincere advice. Got offer for masters program from both Cit and Nui galway but finding it difficult to make a choice.How good are these schools and their employability rate in Ireland? Cork Vs galway, which is better for an international student in terms of employment,cost of living,etc as both are offering me the same masters program;although Cit has a cheaper tuition fee which is worth considering.

seunshow:
@Emexnairaland, Cit tuition fee is actually €12000 but am getting a 25% off that as scholarship.

International students with children / family reunification

Can I bring my husband / wife / civil partner / children to Ireland while I study?

In general, non-EEA students have no rights to family reunification. Some exceptions to this policy are outlined below.

Partners/spouses and children will have to make their own visa applications as they cannot advance their application for permission to enter or reside in Ireland on the basis of their relationship to a registered non-EEA student.

Students will not be allowed to be joined by children except those born during their stay.

What are the exceptions to the policies outlined above?

The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Authority (INIS) may consider exemptions from the policy of no Family Reunification where:

The student is pursuing PhD studies (Level 10 on the National Framework of Qualifications) and will be required to complete their doctorate within 4 years; or
The student is a participant in an academic programme agreed between the Irish State and another State whereby the student and dependents are sufficiently funded for all expenses in Ireland; or
The student can demonstrate that they have sufficient funds on a yearly basis to support themselves and their family without engaging in employment and without recourse to public funds, e.g. by enrolling a child in a private, fee-paying school. (Plans for an immigration levy to recover the costs of publicly-funded education if children are accompanying a parent have been proposed. However, these are yet to be introduced); or
The child is on a short visit to their parent(s) who can prove that the child will return to their home county at the end of their visit.
For further details, see Section G of the INIS guide New Immigration Regime for Full Time Non-EEA Students

The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) has advised that student parents accompanied by children (of whatever age) not authorised to enter Ireland will be stopped at the port of entry in Ireland and refused permission to land.

How does this relate to immigration registration?

First time students from outside the EEA presenting for registration with the GNIB are asked to confirm that they are neither accompanied by children nor do they intend to have their children join them later on - unless covered by specific arrangements as indicated above.

If I have a child in Ireland during my studies, what will be his/her status?

Children born in Ireland are not automatically entitled to Irish citizenship unless they have an Irish or British parent. In all other cases, entitlement to citizenship is based on proving a firm link to Ireland through a parent being legally resident for at least 3 of the 4 years prior to the birth and documented as such by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB). » More

Hello house, i just got an admission to study in dublin. Can anyone help with the study permit requirements.
My major question is, how much is needed in the account for a successful visa application. I was recently refused a study permit and i do not want to gamble with this. Also School starts in September, is it okay to apply for my visa three weeks to the resumption time or the embassy has a timr frame to which they will not attend to study permits anymore. I really need help

Hello Great Gurus in the house I appreciate your effort in helping people. I got admission in letter Kenny institute of technology Donogal, Please help me and throw more light on how that location looks like and the life of a student in terms of
1. Part time Jobs in that location
2. Cost of living
3. The people of Donogal in General

Secondly, last year my Canadian student visa application was refused twice, must I declare it in my Irish visa application, because I saw it in the immigration site. If i choose to declear the Canadian visa refusal, won't that be a red flag on my Irish visa application.

Furthermore, if I apply for student visa on the 14th of July 2017, will it be late, because school starts registration 11th September 2017,

Finally, What do you think about this education bond with paytostudy guys, can it settle the financial aspect of the student visa. because I indeed to pay for the bond too.

All the gurus here, like Dotcomnamenam and others please help a brother.
Thanks in advance, I look forward to your response

Hi Guys,

I am about sending in my application for study visa.

I just observed an "evidence of english level" requirement on the requirements page , and they require test results like ielts, toefl etc.

I was offered masters admission without having to submit any ielts or toefl certificate and so I never imagined It would be a compulsory visa requirement.

Please gurus in the house or anyone that has gotten approved study visa , is it compulsory to submit ielts or toefl results with visa application ??
