You must show a minimum budget of €16,000 for an Irish student visa if your course is longer than 8 months: €6,000 paid towards tuition and €10,000 for living expenses.
- Tuition: Minimum €6,000 paid upfront
- Living expenses: At least €10,000 for one academic year
For courses of 6 - 8 months, living expenses are calculated at €833 per month (totaling €4,998 to €6,665).
These requirements are subject to change.
