Do I need to have any bank account money amount locked in Ireland for visa purposes?
10 Jul 2026 · Answered by Tamanna Jaisingh · 1 min read
No, you do not need to have any money locked in a blocked account in Ireland for your student visa.
You must show immediate access to sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses. For courses longer than eight months, this means proving you have at least €10,000 available for living costs, plus proof of payment of at least €6,000 towards tuition fees. The funds must be liquid and accessible, but they do not need to be held in a blocked account in Ireland.
