Yes, for an Ireland student visa, you must show proof of living expenses in addition to tuition fees. Currently, students are generally required to show: €10,000 for one year of living expenses (or proportionate amount if your course is shorter), plus Proof of paid tuition fees or available tuition funds You can demonstrate funds through: Bank account statements (your own or sponsor’s) Education loan sanction letter Fixed deposits or savings accounts Additionally you are also required to show your sponsor income proof such as ITRs, salary slips etc The available funds must be genuine, readily available, and clearly traceable to you or your sponsor.
