Why Study in Ireland?

Four Reasons Ireland Stands Out

From Silicon Docks to shamrock-lined campuses, Ireland combines EU prestige with English-language education and exceptional post-study opportunities.

🏢

Silicon Docks Dublin

Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Airbnb, and Twitter all have their European headquarters in Dublin. As a graduate in Ireland, world-class tech recruiters are literally at your doorstep — no other English-speaking city in Europe can match this concentration of tech giants.

🗓️

2-Year Stay-Back Visa

The Third Level Graduate Programme (TLGP) gives Masters graduates 2 full years — and Bachelor's graduates 1 year — to stay in Ireland and find work anywhere in the EU. Full-time work is permitted during this period, making it one of the most generous post-study work rights in Europe.

🇪🇺

English-Speaking EU Member

Ireland is one of only two English-speaking EU countries. Your Irish degree is recognised under the Bologna Process across all 27 EU member states, opening career pathways across the entire European continent — not just Ireland.

🍀

Welcoming Irish Culture

Irish people are famously friendly and welcoming — it's not just a stereotype. A strong and growing Nepali student community already thrives in Dublin and Cork, meaning you'll have a support network from day one while experiencing one of Europe's most vibrant student cultures.

Visa Process

Ireland Study Visa
— Step by Step

Ireland's D-Study visa process is managed online through AVATS. EVEC handles every step for Nepali students.

1

Choose a SUSI-Registered Institution

You must enrol at a SUSI-registered institution — this is required to qualify for the Third Level Graduate Programme stay-back rights after graduation.

Critical for Stay-Back Rights
2

Receive Official Offer Letter

Apply to your chosen Irish institution and receive a conditional or unconditional offer letter. EVEC manages the application and negotiates course placements.

3

Pay Tuition Deposit

Pay the required deposit (typically €1,000–3,000) to confirm your place and receive an enrolment letter. This is required for the visa application.

4

Proof of Funds

Demonstrate a minimum of €7,000 for first-year living expenses, plus full tuition fees. Funds should be in a bank account with a minimum 6-month history.

Min. €7,000 + Tuition Fees
5

Health Insurance

Arrange private health insurance from an approved Irish provider — Laya Healthcare, VHI, or AXA Health. This is mandatory for your visa application.

6

Apply for D-Study Visa via AVATS

Complete your application on Ireland's AVATS online portal. Then submit biometrics and physical documents at BLS International in New Delhi, or post to the Irish Embassy.

⚠️
Dublin Accommodation Warning: Student accommodation in Dublin is scarce and highly competitive. EVEC strongly recommends applying for on-campus housing immediately after receiving your offer letter — waiting even a few weeks can mean missing out entirely. Private rentals are expensive and often require 3–6 months deposit upfront.

Common Questions

Ireland Study Abroad FAQ

Everything Nepali students need to know about studying in Ireland — answered by EVEC's expert counsellors.

What is the Third Level Graduate Programme (TLGP)? +
The TLGP is Ireland's post-study work permission. After completing a Level 8 (Bachelor's) degree, you get 1 year to stay and find work. After a Level 9 (Masters) or higher, you get 2 years. You can work full-time during this period. It's similar to the UK's Graduate Route visa — but you must have studied at a SUSI-registered institution for it to apply.
How expensive is Dublin for students? +
Dublin is one of Europe's most expensive cities for accommodation. Shared rooms typically cost €700–1,000/month. Outside Dublin (Cork, Galway, Limerick), costs drop to €500–750/month for a shared room. EVEC recommends applying for on-campus accommodation immediately after receiving your offer letter — spaces fill up within weeks of offers being issued.
Is an Irish degree valid across the EU? +
Yes. As an EU member state, Irish degrees are recognised under the Bologna Process across all 27 EU countries. This is a major advantage for Nepali students considering careers across Europe — your qualification holds value far beyond Ireland's borders, opening doors in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and beyond.
Can I bring my family to Ireland while studying? +
Spouses and dependents can accompany students on a study visa, but they need separate D-Join Family visas and may have limited work rights. Spouses of degree-level (Level 7+) international students are typically permitted to work. Financial requirements increase significantly when bringing dependents — EVEC provides detailed family visa support.
What is the AVATS system for the Ireland visa? +
AVATS (Automated Visa Application Tracking System) is Ireland's online visa portal. Nepali students apply online through AVATS, then submit biometrics and documents either by post or at BLS International in New Delhi. The process requires careful document sequencing — financial evidence, health insurance, offer letter, and enrolment confirmation must all align. EVEC manages this entire process end-to-end.
Which industries hire the most graduates in Ireland? +
Technology is the dominant sector — Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, and LinkedIn all have their European headquarters in Dublin's Silicon Docks, hiring thousands of graduates annually. Pharmaceuticals (Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca) are particularly strong in Cork and Dublin. Financial Services (Citi, JP Morgan, HSBC) and Management Consulting are also major graduate employers. TCD and UCC have particularly strong pharma and tech placement links.
