Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about moving to Ireland? Here are answers to what our clients ask most about visas, eligibility, costs, and the application process.

Most Irish universities accept IELTS, but many also accept alternatives like PTE, Duolingo English Test, or proof of prior education in English. Requirements vary by institution and course, so our team checks your profile against the exact university criteria before applying.
Student applicants generally need to show funds of at least €10,000 for living expenses, in addition to full tuition fee payment. Work permit applicants must meet minimum salary thresholds set by the Irish government, which vary by occupation and permit type.

Ireland offers competitive tuition costs, a strong tech and pharma job market, English-speaking life, and easier access to the rest of Europe. While intake sizes are smaller than the UK or Canada, approval rates and post-study work opportunities remain very favourable for genuine applicants.
