Will old fixed deposits (FDs) of 2-3 years be accepted as proof of funds for visa applications in Ireland?

Yes, fixed deposits (FDs) that are 2-3 years old can be accepted as proof of funds for your Ireland student visa application if certain conditions are met. The funds must be immediately accessible, and you will need to provide recent bank statements that show your FDs and their maturity details, along with a bank letter confirming the funds are liquid and available for withdrawal. You should also include clear documentation explaining the source of the funds used to create the FDs. Make sure all documents are authentic and that the funds are not locked or unexplained, as this could affect your visa application. If you have any doubts about the documentation, your LeapScholar counsellor can provide detailed guidance.
