What are the post-study work visa options and duration after completing the course in Ireland?
13 May 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Ireland offers post-study work rights under the Third Level Graduate Scheme. Students completing eligible master’s degrees can generally stay back for up to 2 years after graduation to search for jobs and work full-time. This period helps students gain Irish work experience and potentially transition into long-term employment permits later.
