Do I need to renew my passport now if it expires in July 2027 or can I wait until after studies in Ireland?

Yes, you need to renew your passport before applying for your Ireland study visa.
Your passport must be valid for at least 12 months beyond your arrival date in Ireland. Since your passport expires in July 2027 and your studies start in September 2026, it won't meet this requirement. Renew your passport before starting your visa application.
