Do you need a student visa for Ireland?
If you are a citizen of the EU or EEA (including Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) you do not need a student visa for Ireland in order to study in Ireland. There are a number of other countries that do not require Irish student visas or entry visas and these are listed here.
Regardless of whether or not you require a student visa for Ireland, if you are a student from a non-EEA country you must report to an immigration officer upon entry into Ireland to be granted permission to enter. You must do this within the district you intend to live; for example, the Garda National Immigration Bureau if studying in Dublin.
If you are not from the EU, EEA or one of the countries listed as exempt from entry visas, then you will need to apply for an Irish student visa in order to study in Ireland.
你是否需要爱尔兰学生签证?
如果你是一名欧盟或者欧洲经济区国家(包括冰岛、挪威以及列支敦士登)的公民，那么你去爱尔兰留学是不需要学生签证的。当然，还有一些国家的学生去爱尔兰留学，也是不需要爱尔兰学生签证或者是入境签证的。
无论你是否需要办理爱尔兰学生签证，只要你是来自非欧洲经济区国家的学生，你都需要在入境爱尔兰的时候向移民局工作人员报告，以获得入境爱尔兰的许可。你必须在你打算居住的区域来完成这件事，例如，如果你是在都柏林留学的话，那么你需要在爱尔兰国家移民局办理。
如果你不是欧盟、欧洲经济区、或者是上述入境签证豁免国家的学生，那么为了合法顺利的进入爱尔兰留学，你需要申请爱尔兰学生签证。
How to apply for your Irish student visa
If you do require a student visa for Ireland, you will need to make your application at least a few months before travelling. In most cases, you can do so online.
If you wish to study in Ireland for less than three months you should apply for the ‘C Study Visa’, if the course lasts longer than three months you will require the ‘D Study Visa’ type of student visa for Ireland. It is unlikely you will be able to extend a ‘C Study Visa’ to cover a longer period, so make sure it will cover your entire length of stay before applying.
To gain your Irish student visa you will need to provide the following documentation:
Letter of acceptance to study a full-time program at an accredited institution.
Evidence of English-language proficiency (often in the form of a TOEFL or IELTS test score)
Proof of full payment for tuition fees (or student loan declaration)
Proof of available living funds (at least €7,000/US$9,400) for the initial part of your study. If you are planning to study in Ireland for longer than a year you will also need to provide evidence of a sponsor or a further €7,000 for each subsequent year of study.
Evidence of private medical insurance
An agreement stating that you intend to return to your home country upon finishing your course in Ireland.
Although fees vary depending on your country of origin, standard visa application processing fees are €60 (US$80) for a single-entry visa and €100 (US$135) for multiple entries.
如何申请爱尔兰学生签证?
如果你需要办理爱尔兰学生签证留学的话，你将需要至少在出行前往爱尔兰之前的几个月就开始你的签证申请。在大多数情况下，你可以在网上进行爱尔兰签证申请。
如果你在爱尔兰留学的时间预计少于3个月的话，那么你应该申请C学生签证，如果你的专业课程持续时间长于3个月的话，你将需要办理D学生签证。想要延长C类学生签证来在爱尔兰进行更长时间的学习几乎是不可能的，所以在签证申请之前，请务必确定好自己的学习时间，保证自己申请的签证类型能够覆盖整个的专业学习时间。
为了获得爱尔兰学生签证，你需要提供以下文件材料：
一所公认大学全日制专业的录取通知书;
英语语言能力证明(通常是以托福考试或者雅思考试的形式);
全额支付学费的证明(或者是学生贷款声明);
学习开始时足够的生活资金证明(至少€7,000/US$9,400)，如果你计划去爱尔兰留学的时间长于一年的话，你将需要提供赞助者证明，或者是在后续每一年的学习中，提供另外的€7,000资金证明;
私人医疗保险证明;
一份协议，说明你在爱尔兰完成专业课程学习之后，返回原籍国的意愿。
虽然不同国家有不同的收费，但是爱尔兰单次入境签证的标准签证申请处理费用是€60 (US$80)，多次入境签证费用是€100 (US$135)。
Part-time work in Ireland with a student visa
If you plan to study in Ireland on a program recognized by the Internationalization Register, you will receive a ‘stamp number 2’ from your meeting with the local immigration officer. This stamp allows you to take on part-time work in Ireland of up to 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during scheduled holiday periods. Your right to work in Ireland ends when you finish your course of study.
If your course isn’t listed on the Internationalization Register, you will receive a ‘stamp number 2A’ on your passport. If this is the case, you are not entitled to work in Ireland during your studies.
Bear in mind that an Irish student visa does not automatically allow multiple entries into the country. If you think you will need to leave the country and return during your studies, you will need to apply for a re-entry visa.
凭借爱尔兰学生签证在爱尔兰进行兼职工作：
如果你计划在爱尔兰学习一个国际登记处认可的专业，你将会从你当地的移民办公室获得一个图章号码2，这个图章允许你在爱尔兰学期学习期间每一个星期兼职工作至多20个小时，在假期期间每一个星期工作最多40个小时。在你的专业课程学习完成之后，你将不能再在爱尔兰打工。
如果你的专业没有列在国际登记处，那么你将在护照上获得一个图章号码2A，如果是这种情况的话，那么你在爱尔兰学习期间，是没有资格进行兼职打工的。
需要注意的是，爱尔兰学生签证不会自动许可学生多次入境爱尔兰，如果你认为你在学习期间将要离开爱尔兰并且重新返回的话，那么你将需要申请重新入境签证。
Student visas for Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland (counties of Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone) is part of the UK, and regulations for student visas are slightly different. If you plan to study in Northern Ireland or visit these counties, you will likely need to obtain a visa from UK authorities before travelling. For more information, contact your local Irish consulate or embassy.
北爱尔兰学生签证：
北爱尔兰(安特里姆郡、阿马郡、伦敦德里郡、唐郡、弗马纳郡、蒂龙郡)是英国的一部分，但是学生签证规定稍有不同。如果你计划去北爱尔兰学习或者旅游的话，你需要在旅行出行之前从英国权利机构获得签证。了解更多信息，请直接联系你所在地的当地爱尔兰大使馆或者领事馆。
