Hi Guys. This is a new Ireland Study Visa thread, as the old one was removed.

Please all new students in Ireland, and also prospective students that are aspiring to come to Ireland, this thread is for you.

Also, for we that has been here for some time, let's try our best to help new students settle down, give them advice, let them about stuffs that will benefit them that we didn't get to know. Let's help them feel lucky please.

For myself, I came to Ireland 5 years ago, and a lot has happened. Please feel free to ask questions and we will be able to help you.

Apologies guys, the above might not be put together very well, but I just quickly wrote this as I was busy.
Thanks!

How can one go about working or studying in Ireland

I'm so glad seeing this. Thank you OP please are schools in Ireland cheap also, can one come with spouse and what is the best program for HND graduate willing to move through study route. Thank you

Thanks for the thread.

I need more info about Ireland

@Segunagagu, after the UK, the Irish Republic is the next country with a significant population of Nigerians in Europe. Some remote counties like Louth and Donegal has also some nigerian presence. I do believe that some of these residents are on nairaland and it will keep this thread more alive and active if the thread is so titled that such people can relate to it and make contributions to the thread. Please if possible edit the title to make it more inclusive.

How can one go about working or studying in Ireland

Hi Bro. from experience. as u have mentioned. those two ways are the best and legit way to live in ireland. the easiest one is through the study route. for work, this will depend on your skills, as i have few friends that came through that route. bro i am always tell them they are the luckiest, and i am jealous of them. loool. cos they dont have to do a masters and pay like 13k plus like most of us did.

With the work route, you wont believe there are company that will tell you document any money u spent from the day they started talking you, and they will refund everything to you when you get to ireland. some of my friends got like 12k cashback. u can just imagine that. But like i said, your skill!!!!!. my friends are in the finance, audit, tax industry.

But recently, i heard that the irish govt has open another work visa again for non skilled as well, for carpenters and all these labour jobs too. so its nice.

Schools are not cheap in ireland o. and also for HND, i think you will have to do a diploma first before you can do a masters. and thats like extra money seperately for a diploma. if u are doing a diploma maybe in a IT course and u are lucky enough to get a job that will sponsor u even before u finish the 1 year diploma, then u can leave masters.
i had collegues back then in school that got job before we finished our masters and company sponsored them and they forfeited the masters, because u will have to work full time, and u cant do that on a student visa.

and for the spouse matter, u cant come with spouse to ireland. if they do that one. ireland is going to like uk. hahahahha

hey bro, applying to universities in ireland is pretty striaghtforward. if all the necessary requirement are met, u will be granted your visa.
talking of cheap, i am not sure about that, most schools in ireland require you to pay you school fee in full immediately you have been granted admission. that will be around 12k. after the schorlaship has been deducted. so it depends if that is cheap to uor not. for schools like ucd or trinity, u will be look at nothing less than 20k. so it depends.

and no, you cant come with a dependant.

thanks

Could you say what courses of study (Masters) are good to relatively guarantee job after study and how does their study route work?

Awww. Sorry to hear that.

Accommodation is still scarce to be honest. But it's easier to find shared spaces than single ones

Are U asking about jobs?

vera202:

Of course. It's in high demand bro. Do your research. I have friends that working here as doctors that came in from their respective countries and we're all sponsored.

ramon212:

mostly alll IT courses.
Finance. If U Major in tax, audit and other specific areas.
You will get jobs.

Post study work visa is 2 years

thank you. After the 2 years post study visa what next because 2 years post isn't enough for permanent residency and also do their universities take 2:2 for masters?
