Ireland Student visa - Financial requirements

For a role on the Critical Skills List with a degree-level qualification, the base salary is typically at least EUR 40,904. A reduced threshold of EUR 36,848 applies to international students who apply within 12 months of graduating from an Irish third-level institution. Check the official page for current figures.

For visa-required students on courses lasting more than eight months, Ireland currently asks you to show access to at least EUR 10,000 for one academic year, in addition to the required course fees. This is an immigration requirement, not a full personal budget, so plan for more.

If your course fees are more than EUR 6,000, you normally need to show that at least EUR 6,000 has been paid before applying for an Irish student visa. If your total fees are less than EUR 6,000, the full amount must be paid. Check current official requirements.
