Are there any restrictions on part-time work hours for students in Ireland or the UK?

Yes, in both Ireland and the UK, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time as an international student. During official holidays or university vacation periods, you can work full-time. Be sure to follow these rules to maintain your visa status.
