What is the basic financial requirement for studying in Ireland?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Gangadhara N S · 1 min read
You must show proof of sufficient funds to study in Ireland.
- At least €6,000 of your tuition fees should be paid before applying for a student visa.
- At least €10,000 must be available to cover living expenses for one academic year (if your course is longer than 8 months).
In total, you generally need to show around €16,000 (€6,000 tuition + €10,000 living costs) as proof of funds. If your tuition is higher, you must show the full tuition amount plus €10,000 for living expenses.
