Can I work part-time 20 hours per week during my master's in Ireland and 40 hours during holidays?
Yes, as an international student in Ireland on a Stamp 2 visa, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during holidays, specifically from June 1st to September 30th and from December 15th to January 15th. Make sure you have a valid Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card and a Personal Public Service (PPS) number before starting work. These work limits are set by the Irish government and are tied to your visa status, so exceeding them can put your immigration permission at risk. Keep in mind that part-time work may help with living expenses but is unlikely to cover all your costs. If you need more guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can support you.
