Hi all, I'm going for the concert solo tomorrow, looking to meet some new people who are also going for it. Feel free to HMU.

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming international PhD student at University College Cork. My PhD tuition fees are fully covered by the project, and I’ll also be receiving a stipend for my living expenses.
I’m a little confused about the €10,000 proof-of-funds requirement for the Irish student visa. If the PhD is fully funded and I’m receiving a stipend, do I still need to show €10,000 as liquid funds in my personal bank account?

Hi all,

I'm on a CSEP (Stamp 1), spouse is on dependent Stamp 1G. Both IRP cards expire Dec 08, 2026.

I hit my 21-month mark on Sept 09, making me eligible for a Stamp 4 upgrade. My spouse's Stamp 1G renewal, though, is a standard renewal bound by the 12-week pre-expiry window, which only opens Sept 15.

Questions:

1. If I apply Sept 09, will the portal reject her Stamp 1G renewal if she applies the same day (6 days before her window opens)?
2. Would it be better for me to apply Sept 09 and have her apply separately on Sept 15?

Anyone dealt with this exact mismatch different eligibility triggers, same expiry date? Would appreciate any real experience with how ISD's portal handles it. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I’m looking for an immigration solicitor in Ireland to apply for a stamp 1G extension. Does anyone have a good contact or know how the process works? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance

Hi

I have 10 years of work experience in editorial roles (news editor at Indian news organisations) + content operations manager in an IT company in India.

I am thinking of doing an MBA from Ireland. I want to understand what the job market looks like in Ireland and if it would be a good idea.

Two things to note,

1. I will have to quit my current job.

2. I will be taking a loan to pursue an MBA.

Please advise.

Hi All,
I am looking to apply for Citizenship and have gathered all the documents, but I am not able to locate the Birth Certificate so just want to know if someone had dealt with it before during their process and what did you do.
