How long is the student visa valid for, and how can it be renewed after graduation in Ireland for a Master's?

In Ireland, your student visa (Stamp 2) is valid for the full duration of your course. After graduation, you can apply for the Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G), which lets you stay and work in Ireland.

- Master's graduates: Stamp 1G is granted for 12 months and can be extended for another 12 months (total 24 months), if you are actively seeking graduate-level employment.
- You must apply for Stamp 1G within six months of receiving your final results and hold a valid Stamp 2 visa at the time of application.
