Yes, you must pay a portion of your tuition fees before applying for an Irish student visa.

- If your course fees are less than €6,000, you must pay the full amount upfront. - If your course fees are more than €6,000, you must pay at least €6,000 in advance.

This payment is required to show your financial commitment and is a mandatory step in the visa application process.
