Marykelly:
Hi everyone Please I have a question my dad sent me a lump sum amount sometime last year as proof of funds for Canada, so it’s currently in a fixed deposit.

Can I use this as proof of funds for Ireland too?

And how do I explain this because he would be paying my fees as well, I won’t be using the money. I’m guessing he still has to submit his bank statements as my sponsor?

And also what can one use to show ties to Nigeria.

Thanks

I will answer based solely on information provided above:

A print out of the transaction when he sent the funds and the fixed deposit confirmation is required.
Your sponsor is still required to present proof of employment and 6 months salary or business bank act
You are also required to present your salary or personal bank statement for 6 months as well
Proof of ties is mostly family * if married or a well -defined and convincing future aspirations in Nigeria after completing your program more importantly.

Thanks for availing us your expertise for free. I am currently in Dublin and working full time with the Local Authority. I want to get my spouse over by study and i want to ask how much will be considered good enough for me to show as a good account balance. Kindly note that she will be staying with me at no extra increase to my rent.

All visa requirements should be fulfilled including the stated amount of 7000 euros for living expenses.

lyme:
Good day everyone, Please I need your advice, I recently got admission to study in Ireland for January/February intake, but I'm to be sponsored by a close family friend who resides legally in the US, but doesn't bear the same surname with me.Now my questions are:

How do you think it's best to prove close relationship?

Secondly,should he pay the fees directly to the school from US or he is meant to send me the money? and then should he pay the living expenses(proof of funds)into my account or he should leave it in his?(note there's no substantial amount of funds in my account presently). I'm asking as regards depositing lump sums at this point.

Kindly advise me on these,as I'm quite uncertain about the steps to take. Thanks in anticipation.

good day ma please how old can your bank statement be before submittion

Its best to be less than 2 weeks

juniior:
Thanks for your insight, I just got my passport today. It was approved

Please how much minimum amount does a student need to carry as (cash at hand) when entering Ireland?

PS: I already have a 7000 euro education bond receipt.

Probably 1500 -2000 just enough to get you an apartment for 1 month and winter wears till you can get the edu Bond out

Munamoqel:
hello how much is needed in accounts for visa?can I pay 6000 euro to school and show 7000 euro in Accounts for Dublin bussiness school?

Unfortunately NO. Balance left on tuition fees + living expenses + enough for your family (if such applies / enough for your sponsor) should be in your account. All source of funds should be explained in details with genuine proof.

Cheers

seyifrenzy:
Good afternoon sirs and mas. I greet everybody.

I'm a medical doctor working in a federal hospital.

I have good money in my account and I'm married. I have someone who is ready to invite me from Dublin.

How easy is it getting a visit visa to Ireland?

Thank you.

Important things to note:

The person inviting you; what is their status in Ireland, how did they get that status and what is their standing with the garda office ?

The funds you have, do you have solid proof for all funds and are the funds enough to fund the travel plans and more than enough for the family while away and when you return ?

How strong is your proof of ties to Nigeria?

How strong or genuine is your travelling intentions?

Once you can satisfy all these correctly then you should be alright.

All the best

Hello everyone, good day. Urgent question that needs an urgent answer! A friend of mine got admission to study in Dublin for February 2022, he’s about to commit by paying tuition but he’s concerned and would like to know if there will be a drug test in the later stages as he smokes marijuana. Please help with answers! Thanks

At the moment, Ireland does not conduct medical test on students.

ICaSNg:
Within the last 1 month, there have been reports of students getting visa Bans.

Examples include but not limited to the following circumstances:

The 1st Applicant conveniently forgot to declare she had a previous Irish refusal and 3 UK refusals not only that, the visa office was unable to verify the Bank statement they provided .

The 2nd applicant on the other hand presented fake/ unverifiable Business registration documents as proof of their sponsors employment and also an unverifiable bank statement.

Lessons to students/ potential Ireland �� applicants:
Try as much as possible to present genuine documents in support of your application. Do not assume the visa office or Embassy won't verify, you cannot be smarter than technology and trained officials.

Henceforth, we @icastravels will try as much as possible to verify all financial documents of both the main applicant and sponsor before even accepting to work with you on either your admissions or visa processing.

This is a very sad development but then #wemove.

NEROSKY:
Please house, i want to appeal and my school resumed today, is it possible? What do i need to know before appealing, other than tackling the reason for refusal and evidence to backup my claims if need be. Again i didn't get my bank statement back, do i need to print another in the appeal?

Get a letter from your school confirming you can start lectures virtually.

If that can't be provided, confirm with the school if you can get an offer for Jan 2022 and use that to appeal.

Yes new bank statement may be required depending on what the reasons for the refusal were.

All the best

Christeety:
Hi. A friend of mine got refused. Pls I need your help on how to go about the appeal process. How can I reach you please.



Thanks

Through BIO. Cheers

juniior:
Please does Irish Embassy request for international passport if an appeal has been rejected?

I just got an email from then, they didn't say if it was approved or rejected, but they said I should send my passport to the embassy along side a return return courier bag.

Please, is it good news?

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Congrats visa has been approved.

Odlady:
Good afternoon nairalanders. Please I want to apply for the Government of Ireland postgraduate scholarship program and part of the application involves getting three people to fill a reference form. Please for those that have applied before, do you know if a relative can be used for the primary supervisor or who do you think is suitable? Please I don't know. Help.

Thank you all

Hey Guys

I am not new to this thread but i have been away from it for sometime. I am resident in Ireland and considering bringing my wife to Ireland on a study visa for her masters. I am a bit clueless on how to navigate the aspect of her intent to return to nigeria after her study (in her SOP) considering i am already resident here.
Any ideas will be appreciated. I am hoping to get her application in before the end of the month.

Many thanks @ICaSNG

Ireland doesn't request for Intent to return rather the applicant needs to clearly state their future aspirations . That is what you should concentrate on more. All the best.

Goodday please the company i work for don't have a website. Should I be worried.

You should be worried if it can not be found on CAC search link online. i.e it must be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission

Citnix:
Please help a brother with these questions.

Is IELTS a requirement for visa application and any school with less than 10k euro tuition fee for masters program? Also considering the high rate of school fees, what is the possibility of securing job to pay the remaining school fees and living expenses?

IELTS Academic or General, PTE, Toefl or (Duolingo is acceptable at till January 2022)

Check MTU Cork or Waterford institute of Tech for very affordable Masters program for Sept 2022.

Finally, most schools require full Tuition fee payment before visa application.

Citnix:
But this is 2021, does it mean that the conditions in 2017 are applicable to 2021?

Definitely , 90% of the requirements still apply.

Yikes12:
Hello gurus here !

Lastly,pls is it advisable to use an Agent ?

Thanks ...

GodIsGreat21:
I have been a silent follower of this thread and I must say that all the information anyone needs regarding Irish study is here! I applied for visa second week of July and by God's grace my visa was approved recently. Please if you are new to this thread, plan to read through from page 1 to the current page. It may appear stressful, but I tell you, it contains a lot of credible information as regards how to go about your application. So make out time to look through this thread as I feel every possible question has been covered.

I want to also mention that it is important one learns to be proactive about his/her application. If you have applied, don't wait for notification by email, call or sms before you begin checking the status of your application online. Weekly decisions are released every month here: https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/nigeria/our-services/visas/weeklydecisionreports and sometimes you may not even get an email or phone call when your visa is out. So it is your duty to monitor and know when it is released and work towards getting your documents back.

For those applying for visa, please ensure you have every document mentioned for your visa type in hand. And make extra two copies of each. Also arrange them in order to avoid confusion when submitting. I was fortunate to have one of the staff at the VFs office help me, it was a lot of documents to handle at once, so better arrange them separately before going as some of them don't have patience to wait once it's your turn. Also include as much certifications or awards as you can as supporting documents in your application. Other information as regards what to submit on this thread are true. But still check this site: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-study-in-ireland/what-are-my-study-visa-options/how-to-apply-for-long-term-study-visa/ . And please don't lie in your application. Best bet to be honest!

Above all else, after submitting last month, it was prayer season. Prayers work! Pray about it to the God you believe in.

I want to specially thank ICasNg and every other person who has made useful contributions to this thread. God bless you all and please say a prayer for me as I begin this next phase of my life. I wish everyone still applying or expecting a decision success in their endeavors!

God is GREAT indeed! Congratulations. wishing you and everyone going to Ireland success
