Is the post-study work visa process and cost the same for Germany and Ireland for a Master's/PhD?

No, the post-study work visa process and cost are not the same for Germany and Ireland.
- Germany: After graduation, you can apply for an 18-month Job Seeker Visa to search for jobs related to your degree. The typical application fee is €75 - €100.
- Ireland: The post-study permit is called Stamp 1G (Third Level Graduate Programme). It allows you to stay for 12 months after a bachelor's or up to 24 months after a master's or PhD. The current registration fee is €300.
Visa durations, eligibility, and fees are subject to change.
