Is two years of ITR (Income Tax Return) mandatory to show for Ireland visa application, especially if I have three years of IT work experience?

For Ireland, the student’s own ITRs are generally not mandatory unless you are self-funding and using your own income as proof of finances. In most cases, the focus is on the sponsor’s financial documents, and sponsor ITRs are usually expected to demonstrate stable and legitimate income sources. There is no strict rule that exactly two years of ITR must be shown in every case, but visa authorities generally prefer to see consistent financial records such as sponsor ITRs, salary slips, and bank statements to establish financial stability.
