If I take an education loan, how much amount do I need to maintain in my account apart from the loan for visa purposes in Ireland?

You must show you have enough funds for your tuition fees plus at least €10,000 for living expenses for one academic year, as required by Irish immigration.

If your education loan covers both tuition and living expenses, you generally do not need to maintain extra funds beyond the loan. However, having additional personal savings in your account can strengthen your visa application by demonstrating immediate access to funds and financial stability.

Bank statements should be recent, cover six months, and clearly show your name and account details. Unexplained large deposits should be explained.
