Can you help me find part-time jobs after going abroad in Ireland?
Yes, as an international student in Ireland, you can work part-time while studying. With a Stamp 2 visa, you can work up to 20 hours/week during term and up to 40 hours/week during official holidays (June - Sept, 15 Dec - 15 Jan; subject to change).
Common part-time jobs include:
- Retail assistant
- Hospitality roles (waiter, barista, kitchen staff)
- Office administration

You can find jobs through job portals like Jobs.ie, university career services, and networking on campus.
Make sure your work hours follow visa rules and balance your job with your studies. If you need help with job search or applications, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

Yes, as an international student in Ireland, you can work part-time to support your living expenses.
You must be enrolled in a full-time course recognized by the Irish Register of Qualifications and hold a valid Stamp 2 student visa. This allows you to work up to 20 hours/week during term and 40 hours/week during official holidays (subject to change).
Common part-time jobs for students include:
- Retail assistant (stores, supermarkets)
- Hospitality roles (cafés, restaurants, hotels)
- Office administration
