The recently rejected application was a re-application after the initial application was rejected in September 2025. I am not going through all that stress dealing with their incompetence of the Irish embassy visa officers anymore.

kehindebramon:
If your application was rejected, reapply and don't appeal. It was same for me last year, but i was advised by school to reapply and not appeal and it was approved.

Can someone just brief me through UK study visa application especially how many month statement of account do I need to submit

I think you should make inquiries on your own about the school you want to apply to, and their requirements. Meet the requirements get admin and go from there. You can ask chatgpt for more information

Please can someone help me here. I want to apply to study in Ireland but my younger brother who is based in the UK want to sponsor me to cover the cost of living funds. Is it possible and how do I go about it??

bigmills:
I resubmitted the same application from last year. The previous rejection cited three reasons: missing transcripts for all academic qualifications, no explanation for choosing Ireland as the preferred study destination, and unaddressed gaps between my last period of education and current employment. All of these were valid concerns, and every single one was fully addressed in the new application. It was still rejected and this time with entirely new reasons.

There is nothing more demoralising than doing exactly what was asked, fixing every flagged issue, and then watching them move the goalposts. It feels deliberately designed to wear you down. But that's precisely why we cannot give in.

Hi Everyone,

Goodday, please I need (4) 3rd year bachelors, masters student or recent university graduates in Europe to participate in my research work. I study at Uppsala University and I am researching about the role of international education in shaping networking opportunities and graduate employability among African students in Europe and I want mixed perspectives based on different countries and not only Sweden. Please whoever is interested should kindly signify on here or if you have any contact of anyone or friends in other countries in Europe that might be interested in sharing their experiences in a 30-35mins interview between 15th-25th of April, 2026 with me. It is a confidential interview and your identity would be anonymized. Kindly drop your email if you would like to help me with this.

Thanks a million as I anticipate a feedback.

Pls my people, I don’t know if this is a generic response. They acknowledged a mail/document I sent to them and replied with this but my application is a study visa not join family application and the portal they directed me to, directed me back to back embassy the my application isn’t in Dublin but Abuja embassy. Though I have messaged the embassy immediately telling them my application is a study visa and not join family.


Is there anybody who received a message like this from them in the exact form and mind you this is the first time they are replying with the join family and thr portal stuff

Hi guys, has anyone been able to use any form of ID apart from passport and drivers license to register on the ISD portal ? I have already submitted my application so I dont have my passport with me and I dont have a drivers license. I want to check if the embassy has received my application. Thanks

Hi guys. Please I need clarity on something. Is it necessary to include police character report in the application to the embassy? Some people have have it’s not necessary for a study visa application, some people have said it is absolutely needed. Would really appreciate your response on this.

Its costs about 40k ,just include it.

Ireland Student Visa Appeal, Anyone with experience? Or knows anyone that did it??

Same here please. My reasons for refusal were insufficient finances(although I had a co-sponsor) twice the amount and proof of source of funds, obligation to return and reason for study in Ireland. Can anyone support on this or refer to a professional to help. Thanks 🙏🏾

This is my advice tolu, do not appeal. Submit a new application and address everything again. It’s faster than appeal… it’s rare to see people on appeal and it take 6months of processing officially but I’m in my 7th month going to 8th month without any reasonable feedback. I seriously I’ve dashed them this stuff, just want to see the outcome whenever they release it

all right. will do. Thanks a lot. I hope you hear back from them soon

Don't appeal, submit a new application. The long.processing time is because Abuja office handles ALL applications form Nigeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and Senegal.

I even heard some reasons do not even make any sense

They do not make sense at all, most of the reasons doesn’t. How other way do you want me to proof link to sponsor(my elder brother) after submitting his birth certificate, pictures of us since we were child to now, an affidavit kind of documents including both our parent’s signature confirmating we are sibling and all the documents were notarized.

Stupid reasons, they calm you didn’t submit documents are you obviously submitted…. The whole thing is just crazy

what type of birth certificate? is it from the national population commission?

That's not fair, what else do they want??
I even heard someone was rejected because of this same birth certificate issue, that the person dropped Attestation of birth instead of birth certificate from National Population council...it's well
What intake did you apply for initially?

Shally233:

Primarily because of the workload ..
Applications are not properly vetted anymore because there is deadline to be met. It's crazy.

If you’re considering appeal, please change your mind because your documents will stay longer with them without getting a decision. You’ll eventually be forced to withdraw the application. Same thing happened to me plus the refusal rates are even higher.
The craziest part is that I tried reapplying and my agent told me I have to pay for another insurance of 200€. lol. Bruh, i didn’t even get the visa talk more of using the insurance. Everything about Ireland is just ridiculous

You can ask for a refund, just send a mail to the insurance company and they will refund the money to the same account you used in paying, I deferred my admission last year, and they refunded the insurance fee....I also have a question, do they check POF these days?
