What does the six months financial requirement mean for visa applications?

You must provide official bank statements showing all transactions for the six months immediately before your Irish student visa application. This demonstrates your financial stability and ability to support yourself during your studies.

- Bank statements: Must clearly show your name, address, account number, and account type, with regular transactions and no unexplained large deposits.
- Source of funds: Any large or irregular deposits must be explained with supporting documents (like income proofs or tax returns).

As of 30 June 2025, you need to show immediate access to at least €10,000 for courses over eight months, or €833/month for shorter courses. These requirements are subject to change.
