What is the required minimum bank balance for visa and living expenses when applying to study in Ireland or Dubai?

You must show proof of sufficient funds for both Ireland and Dubai student visas. Requirements differ by country and course duration.

Ireland:
- Living expenses: At least €10,000 for courses over 8 months. For 6 - 8 month courses, €833/month (e.g., €4,998 for 6 months).
- Tuition fees: Typically €10,000 - €25,000/year, depending on the program.

Dubai:
- Living expenses: The minimum required varies by university, course, and duration. No fixed national amount; universities may set their own thresholds.
- Tuition fees: Vary by institution and program.

Bank statements should show a stable balance over time, not just recent large deposits. If a sponsor supports you, their income proof is also required.

These requirements are subject to change. For detailed guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
