Is the September intake feasible given the time needed for documentation in Ireland/New Zealand?

No, the September 2026 intake is not feasible at this stage due to tight application deadlines and required processing times for France, Ireland, and New Zealand.

- France: Most university deadlines have already passed, and the visa process (Campus France validation plus visa) typically takes 5 - 8 weeks.
- Ireland: Major universities closed applications by July 1, 2026. Visa processing takes 4 - 8 weeks.
- New Zealand: September intake is uncommon and most deadlines have passed; visa processing averages 3 - 7.5 weeks.

It is recommended to target the January 2027 intake instead, allowing enough time for applications and documentation.
