For a one-year Master's in Ireland, you’ll typically need to show about €15,000 for tuition fees plus at least €10,000 for living expenses, so around €25,000 total in your bank account. Requirements may change, so check official sources before applying. Make sure your bank statements clearly show your name and account details, and be ready to explain any large deposits.

You need to show funds covering both tuition fees and living expenses for your Ireland student visa:

- Tuition fees: At least €6,000 paid upfront. If your total tuition is higher, you must show funds for the full remaining amount.
- Living expenses: At least €10,000 for one academic year (for courses over 8 months).

For a typical one-year master's, you should have around €16,000 available (€6,000 tuition + €10,000 living costs). If tuition is higher, add that extra amount.

Bank statements should be recent (last 3 - 6 months), official, and clearly show your name and account details. Large or unusual deposits must be explained. If a sponsor is supporting you, include their financial documents and proof of relationship.
