Can I submit my visa application as sum as I have the money in my account or leave it up to a month before applying.? Someone please help, my resumption is September I got my admission kinda late

Visa processing takes 8-12 weeks , how do you think you can meet up?

I would advise you defer to January. Applying now might be a bit late

If you have the funds, you should apply as early as possible. But you almost certainly won’t make September resumption.

It’s best you defer to January, then apply now for January visa entry.

Thank you all I really appreciate.

Hi everyone, I have a question. Even if a school allows tuition to be paid in instalments, does Irish immigration or Border Control require international students to have paid the full tuition before entering Ireland, or is paying the required amount stated for the visa sufficient? I’d appreciate clarification from anyone with experience.

Some people's decision comes out in 5-6 weeks.
But it's not guaranteed.

Please I just joined and I’m so lostttttttt. What am I seeing like this? I submitted July 16th, so does it mean I don’t even have hope or sth. Or I should just start looking for another school for next year againnnnnnnnnn

You still have a bit of time. Hopefully your application is straightforward and that should help with a quick decision.

Also depends on school resumption. If you haven’t gotten a decision by the time school resumes, get an email from your school stating the latest resumption date and send to them quoting your IRL number

Ultimately a visa is just clearance to enter not right to enter. The immigration officer has the final say on whether or not you are allowed to enter the country.

Having said that, I have not seen nor heard anyone being turned back on basis of not having fees paid in full and hopefully you are not the first.


Just answer their questions honestly and you should be grand.

The start date for Griffith is 21st September. I pray it comes out before then

I submitted my application to vfs on July 29th. My school is resuming on September 7th. Can my visa decision be out before then?

honestly atp there is no telling, my advice is you dont resign from your job.

This is me any moment from now. I submitted my application in VFS Abuja on 6th of July, I got notification that it got to the embassy on 17th of July (though i kept wondering if it was sent to Dublin, because 2 weeks is a lot of time). But anyways school is resuming on the 14th of Sep and i have to give one month notice in my company, otherwise i pay in lieu( which I don't want). I am planning to resign this month, though I know its very risky. sigh

Getting a decision before your September resumption date is slim unless your application was sent to Ireland. As for your job pls do not resign and pray your visa pull through and also start preparing to pay thr lieu if it’s not much. I made the mistake and it’s the worse decision of my life right now and it’s been hell getting another job since then. I advise you start gathering money to pay thr lieu if it’s not much cause chances for this September is slim and you might defer to January with visa on 50/50 mode so pls think about it very well

I hear you Ayo, thank you for your input. From what you've just said, i think i will wait and pay in lieu than losing the job.

But you know, my Nigeria mind is telling me my case would be different , i mean, we've seen cases were applicant received their decision in 1 month or 6 weeks. Someone i met recently applied in first week of May and received decision on July 3rd.

How can someone know the location the application was sent to? Whether Dublin or Abuja?
