09 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Yes, as a student in Ireland, you can work up to 20 hours per week during academic terms and up to 40 hours per week during standard holiday periods. You’ll need to be enrolled full-time, have a valid IRP card with Stamp 2, and get a PPS number before starting work. Be sure not to exceed the permitted work hours to maintain your immigration status.
