If you are going to study abroad, the concept of an Irish student visa will not be unfamiliar to you. Depending on which country you will study in, the types of student visas you need to obtain vary. Therefore, you should examine the visa types for each country separately. For this reason, if the country you choose to study abroad in is Ireland, this article will shed light on you.
IRELAND STUDENT VISA
If you are going to get a student visa to study in Ireland, the first criterion you need to know is that you need to get a visa according to your education period. In other words, the types of visas you need to apply for training shorter than 90 days and longer than 90 days are different.
The Irish student visa is divided into two groups. These;
• Short Term (C Visa)
• Long Term (D Visa)
Therefore, you should apply depending on the duration of your education. We recommend that you apply for a student visa as early as possible to avoid any inconveniences.
SHORT-TERM (TYPE C VISA)
This is the type of visa you need to apply for if your education in Ireland will last less than 90 days or if you are going to enroll in any language course. The period of a Type C student visa is not extended except in extraordinary circumstances. In addition, you do not have a permit to work while studying with a short-term Irish student visa.
LONG-TERM (TYPE D VISA)
If the education you will receive will last longer than 90 days, the type of visa you need to apply for is D type. While applying for a D-type visa, between the selections of multiple and single entries, you must choose a single entry. In this way, you show that you will only stay for education.
While having an education on a long-term Irish student visa, you also have a permit to work. You can legally work 20 hours a week. In this way, you also have the opportunity to contribute to your budget while having an education.

The Irish government has different student visa schemes for students who will have a license education or a high license education and for students who will have short-term language education.
