27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Pallavi Attri · 1 min read
For Ireland, most Indian students apply for a Long Stay 'D' Visa for courses longer than 90 days.
Visa application fees (subject to change):
- Single-entry visa: €60
- Multiple-entry visa: €100
Additional costs:
- VFS service fee: ₹3,380
- Biometric charges: €20 - €25
- Optional courier/document services: €3 - €20
These fees are non-refundable. Other visa types may exist, but the Long Stay 'D' Visa is typical for study programs.
