Can a block account be created to show funds for visa application in Ireland?

Yes, you can use a blocked account to show proof of funds for your Ireland student visa application.

A blocked account is a special bank account where a set amount is deposited and cannot be accessed freely by the account holder. For Ireland, you typically need to show:

- €10,000 for courses longer than 8 months
- €833/month or €6,665 total for courses of 8 months or less

You can demonstrate this with a current bank statement from your blocked account, along with any other documents required by Irish immigration. Requirements may change and can depend on your course and nationality. For specific guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
