@Segunagagu Happy New Year sir,

Kindly let me know if this will be possible.

Cheers

Jon3nity:
Finally, I got my decision, it's APPROVED. Applied on July 2nd, it reached the Embassy on July 7th. The dispatch just delivered my passport. Thanks, guys!!! I used @ICaSNg for the entire visa application process. Thank you, @ICaSNg

Congrats Bro. Wishing you success.

Zeedar:
thank you so much for this insight so I’m only paying school fees for ones

Only a few schools accept a 50% or €6,000 initial deposit, while the embassy requires a minimum of €6,000 paid toward tuition fees.

Therefore, it's important to understand each school's minimum payment policy, as the embassy's requirement does not override the school's specific deposit terms.

Zeedar:
I have three questions
1. How many admissions cycle does Ireland have in a year and which month can you start there processing (I.e seeking for admission and others)
2. What is the duration of Msc in Ireland
3. What is the average tuition of their unis

1. September , Jan/Feb and April intakes
2. MSc is usually 1 year exceptions to few schools with Jan Intake with few programs lasting 18 months to 20 months but its still considered a 1 year Masters
3. Average fees range from 12,000 to 15,000 after discounts . Few schools with programs such as MSc Nursing have 50% discount which brings fee down to 9500 euros for a 1 year Masters

gosarumese:
Hello everyone,

Available options are:
1 Year BSc Top up program in Business
1 Year Higher Diploma programs in IT, Business, Finance etc

Fee range from 7800 euro to 12,000 euro

TripleDelta:
Hello everyone.
I have always wanted to study in Ireland but this policy of not bringing your spouse along is hindering me. Which other pathways do you all suggest that I and my husband can move

Read up on Finland- they allow you come with dependents;
They also have their challenges which is usually- language barrier and that means less job opportunities within the first 4 months of arrival in the country.

Ola2money:
Hello people,

I'm new here. Please, I need help with study route, Master's degree specifically. I'm green and need help with list of schools or if I can be pointed to a directory for schools with affordable tuitions.

I look forward to the assistance of the great minds that are here.

Thanks in advance.

Affordability is relative,
MTU, SETU, ATU are affordable options with fees likely to be below 13000 euros for 1 year MSc .
Are they in Dublin? - No
will there be job oppotunities like Dublin ? -No

Are they very strict with Grades -YES -especially MTU.

Pls I need some advice on my visa application. My situation is a bit complicated, and my agent hasn’t really given me any solid guidance.
I’m applying for a long-stay student visa for my Master’s in Dublin (16-month program). I’ve already paid €6,000 to the school. For proof of funds, we plan to show around ₦48 million, maybe a bit more by the time we print the statement. Just want to be sure if this amount is okay.
My dad (my sponsor) had been saving money in my brothers child account.
The agent told us to move it to my dad’s account to avoid complications, so we moved everything in early March.
I plan to submit my visa application in late May or early June, meaning the money will have been in his account for about three months.
Will this raise any red flags?

Your sponsor will need concrete , genuine proof of how he came about the funds; why the funds was sent into someone else account before and why the funds is being transferred now.
The flow of funds is complicated , but explaining and providing more than enough proof will be required.

Moonstarr:
Hello, for those that moved to Ireland this year, how much in euro did you show as living expenses? I plan to only show only 10,000 euro in my sponsor Nigeria account. Will that work? My agent is saying I should put like 15,000 euro in the account

If Married with or without children . 15000 euros is an excellent amount. unless you are ready to include your spouse financial docs

Just as a gentle reminder, You can submit your study permit applications 3 months * for January intakes or 4 -5 months ahead * for September intakes. Worse case scenario is 7-8 weeks before resumption. Praying for everyone expecting a decision on their visa applications, may God grant you favour.

Bukeevirgo:
Hello good evening what's the score for the Duolingo test pls?

For visa application process, 100 is good to go.

GeneXY:
Hi. I got admission for Bsc Nursing which is four years program. My question is about the POF. The Irish immigration website states that I must have €10,000 for each year + Tuition fee which means €40,000 + Tuition. Has anyone gone through this stage. I need advice please. Thanks

If you are self-sponsoring yourself, YES you need to show proof of fees and living expenses for the 4 years. If you intend using a sponsor, they must show proof of income showing they earn enough to cover your tuition and living expenses for the whole duration of your course.

Yttu:
Hello guys. Please has anyone been a able to book vfs appointment recently. I have been trying to for 3 days.

Keep checking twice a day, earliest we got was 22nd July .

Justiceotuya:
anyone with accomodation in dublin that i can use for my application

School Address should be used on your Online application.

Equity15:
okay, thanks. I'll be depositing 4M and 5M in bits. I just want to know if it's necessary to explain in the application letter. Monthly inflow/outflow in the account is more than 3.5M monthly

You still dont understand, every transaction through your account in the last 6 months must be explained with proof provided as to the source of the funds.

Equity15:
good afternoon. Please what is considered a lump sum? Is 4M and 6M considered a lump sum? Assuming someone earns around 3.5M monthly for a self sponsor that has paid around more than half of the school fee. I can sort out the school fee but want to use POF for living expenses.


Segunagagu

Regards,

Lumpsum is determined by your average monthly inflow and outflow. some people's lumpsum is 100,000 ngn , others 5m, few 40m.

Chigozie321:
Hello House,

I want to ask. Do I need to verify my BSc certificate, Waec, Transcript, birth cert. etc. at ministry of education/foreign affairs for Ireland study visa?

I read on their website that all documents must be attested. I am considering tge country for my Master's but I am not sure I can handle the stress.

No, its not required. However, clear photocopies of all credentials including your results, CV, Reference letters, passport pages of current and old passports etc must be submitted

Zealoy:
Pls how can someone with only ND come to ireland for studies?

Apply to 2nd year programs in colleges or universities like ATU; TUS, DBS etc based on your budget of course.

100ongod:
Happy newvyear please does someone neds yellow card and Covid 19 vaccine .
When travelling is it required in d Airport?
I mean when travelling to resume this january"
Thanks

Not to the best of my knowledge. You will however need all your credentials , offer letter (inform your school ahead of your arrival date preferably), have proof of funds documentation in case of random check, proof of medical insurance and your temporary or permanent address in Ireland * this includes shortlets, School hostels , hotels etc. Keep all essential docs in your hand luggage.

Safe travels

Yes to both questions.

darkid1:
Hello , please I have two questions about studying in Ireland:

1.) Can a gift deed (of the 10,000£ POF requirement) be used as POF. Also is there a duration gift deed must have been made (e.g 3 months to the visa application).

In reality for my case I don't have living expenses issues cause I will be staying with an aunt who lives close to the uni. I have just my fee and 3k£ extra in personal savings account.

2.) Is an ielts compulsory for the embassy, if the university doesn't require one. And if I have a general ielts can this be submitted.

Thanks ....

why was it deleted? Because it wasn't active? That thread is filled with so much information FGS

I'm guessing they may start one by the MOD. I'm moving to other platforms - IG & linkedin

Dear Future International Student,

As we approach 2024, if you intend embarking on further studies please embrace intentionality and strategy in your course selections. In the vibrant academic landscape of the Republic of Ireland, some key disciplines stand out as promising avenues for professional growth.

Consider exploring courses in Nursing, Social work, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence for Business, Construction Project Management, Finance etc. These fields not only align with the evolving job market but also offer exciting prospects for global professionals.

However, it's crucial to exercise discernment when choosing a course path. In 2024, I advocate against exploring generalized courses such as International Business, Management, Law etc. Specialized courses, on the other hand, serve as a beacon, establishing you as an authority in your chosen field.
Remember, your academic journey is a strategic investment in your future. Choose wisely, focus on specialization, and position yourself as a leader in your industry.
Here's to a purposeful and successful academic pursuit in 2024!

Best regards,
Ibk-Blessing Oyewole
