Visa

Visas & Immigration for Students Studying in Ireland

Upon confirming your intent to enroll in the Dual BA Program, students who do not hold citizenship in a European Union member country may be required to apply for a student visa.

Do I need a visa to study in Ireland?

Your nationality determines whether or not you require a visa to enter Ireland.

EU/EEA and Switzerland

EU/EEA and Swiss students do not require a visa to study in Ireland. If you are unsure about whether you are an EU/EEA national, see here for a list of all EU/EEA countries.

Non-EU/EEA Students

The majority of non-EU/EEA students require a visa before entry to Ireland. To check to see whether you require a visa, please visit Citizens Information and Irish Immigration. Please see the INIS (Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service) list of countries that require a visa before entry to Ireland.

If your country is not listed, then you do not require a visa to enter Ireland.

Applying for a Visa

An online Irish visa application facility is available worldwide and must be used by all applicants from visa-required countries. Visit the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) website to begin the application process.

For visa and immigration support , please visit the Trinity Visa and Immigration website and the Trinity International welcome document. Please note: this document is subject to change due to Irish immigration law and we would recommend that you recheck this frequently before you prepare to travel. The Trinity International welcome document also provides a helpful overview of information relevant to all international students; however, we would draw your attention to the housing section of the website as different accommodation arrangements and dates apply to Dual BA students.
