For a Master's in Ireland, you will need your academic transcripts and degree certificates, English proficiency test scores (unless exempted), a statement of purpose, an updated CV, two letters of recommendation, proof of finances, tuition fee payment proof, medical insurance, and a valid passport. Make sure all documents are in English or have notarized translations. Start preparing early, as visa processing can take several weeks.
