Yes, you can apply to MBA programs abroad with less than three years of managerial experience, especially with your 30 months of work experience. To strengthen your application:

- Highlight leadership roles, project management, and measurable achievements in your work experience.
- Aim for a strong GMAT or GRE score to boost your academic profile.
- Write a clear Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your career goals and motivation for an MBA.
- Obtain recommendations from supervisors who can speak to your leadership and potential.
- Target programs in the UK and Ireland that accept candidates with less than three years' experience if you show strong academics and leadership promise.
