Ireland Study Visa Application: Documents and Application process

[@Tayo_dips]

Thank for this in-depth piece of information Anita 🙌🏽 In regard to the test of English, some universities, educational institutions or courses accept Duolingo but it’s best for people to check the requirements before writing any test.

[@anitanwalo]

You’re welcome Tayo 😊 Yeah you’re right about that, that’s why I emphasised the importance of going to confirm the requirements online to make sure they’re up to date with the times. Thanks again 🙏🏽

Hi Anita, I’m trying to apply for a masters program at UCD. Picked a course and when I got to the next step to create an account. After verification from my email. It’s not logging me in. Please I need help.

@@STELLAtheKZbinR Hi Stella, could be your server but try again with a different WiFi connection to see if anything changes. If nothing changes, I think you should contact the admissions team so they can check if they have a server issue on the back end that they need to fix. The team usually responds within 3-5 business days

Hello Anita, thanks for this. It's very helpful. Please did you include your birth certificate or is it a requirement for minors only?

[@anitanwalo]

You’re welcome. Happy to help. You could include your birth certificate in the general supporting documents if you want but it doesn’t really have much impact. For minors it could be a requirement to confirm if they are your wards or children

I just got an offer for postgraduate diploma griffith College Cork. Can i get a post study work visa with the course, and do i have to make the full tuition payment before applying for a visa?

[@anitanwalo]

Hi Harrison, congratulations. Yes you will get a post study visa called the 1G visa. It’s valid for 2 years but you renew after the first year. Please email your college to confirm if you need to pay the full tuition before applying for a student visa as it depends on the college and visa application guidelines. I hope this helps❤

[@OgbuFerdinand-ei3tg]

Can i use duolingo for either study application or visa application

[@anitanwalo]

@@OgbuFerdinand-ei3tg as I said in the video, confirm from the college & the visa requirements of the country you’re applying from. I can’t answer that unfortunately

[@bukolasoneye3274]

Hi Anita, did you need to notarize your certificates before submission by a notary lawyer. And if so can you share which documents.

[@anitanwalo]

@@bukolasoneye3274 hi Bukola, no I didn’t need to do that

[@abbylove7631]

Can i send my diploma certificate instead of wassce certificate if I’m applying for Bachelor Degree

[@anitanwalo]

Hi Abby, I think you will need to confirm this with your college to be extra sure because the application documents depends on what's acceptable with the college you are applying to.

Just ran into ur page, can u travel with dependants as a student?

[@anitanwalo]

I don’t think so, unless they’re babies or so I’m not particularly sure that’s possible

[@natashachikura7899]

Hey is there any need of sending original certificates

[@anitanwalo]

@@natashachikura7899 if they request for it, you could but they would have to have it returned to you. They hardly request for original documents though

[@smileserickrama10]

@@smileserickrama10 Hi, I don’t think so

[@lolononojay9010]

How long did it take to get visa decision?

[@anitanwalo]

@@lolononojay9010 hi, it took approximately 6-8weeks to get a decision and you could track your application on your portal at that time. I assume it should be the same now

[@MaureenEbony-o7v]

Hi please how many copies do you need printed for submission

[@anitanwalo]

Hi, You need to confirm that from the Immigration website.

[@Zakwyld]

Do I need to pay the complete fees before applying for the visa?

[@anitanwalo]

Not necessarily but I’d suggest you confirm from your college and the immigration website

[@renassalahudden9520]

Hello dear , I want to ask you a question, there is two lumps in my bank statement which are ( I got 20 000 euro twice transfers in a month to me) from a friend of my father in Poland. from two different polish accounts, and I paid my tuition fee in full from the first 20000 and savedthe other 20000 for my expenses. And this friend of my father, he travels back to Iraq frequently and he take the money back from my dad and have their own settlement. Would Irish embassy question that and only a receipt and a cover letter can be enough? And what should I say and do?

[@anitanwalo]

Hi there, this sounds a bit complex but it's fine if you have lump sums sent into your bank account as long as you show proof of these transactions through your bank statement. You also need to show proof of payment of fees so they see what some of that money was used for. I think with these you should be fine. You should also include a proof of employment to solidify your application so they don't feel that there is any foul play of some sort. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching & please share this video to your friends or people you think may find the information helpful☺
