How to get Permanent Residency in Ireland

HOW TO GET PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN IRELAND Ireland has become a popular study abroad destination that ranks highly for quality education with many strong programs in a variety of areas. One of the numerous reasons to study in Ireland is that it provides students with highly advantageous experience and globally recognised qualifications that will boost their employability. A good number of international students in Ireland look forward to securing permanent residency after finishing their studies in Ireland, not only because of the quality education but also because of its robust economy, job opportunities and serenity. If you have ever wondered how to get permanent residency in Ireland by studying a program like Nursing, it is important to know that there are a few steps to achieve this and these steps are: Securing an admission Getting a student visa Getting a residence permit Working while studying Getting employed   SECURING AN ADMISSION. Securing admission to any prestigious university in Ireland like Munster Technological University is the first step to getting permanent residency in Ireland. The decision to move from one country to another for higher education is undoubtedly a big decision but when you think about so many factors, like Personal, Social and Economic reasons, one will see that studying abroad is a unique opportunity to change the environment and lead a new life.   GETTING A STUDENT VISA. The next step to getting a permanent residency in Ireland is knowing what type of visa is required for your study program. A Nursing program will require a D type study visa with a stamp 2 on your passport, but a program that lasts less than 3 months, will require a C type study visa. However, to increase your chances of getting a PR in Ireland, you are advised to get a D type study visa and study a program with a course length of 1-2 years in other to have the privilege of a post-study work permit. To get a permanent residency in Ireland you are required to have lived in Ireland for up to 5 years, therefore, studying a BA, MA or a PhD degree will get you a post-study work permit, which increases your stay in Ireland and gets you closer to permanent residency.   GETTING A RESIDENCE PERMIT. The next step to getting permanent residency in Ireland is to register at the local GNIB immediately after you arrive in Ireland, to get a residence permit. The residence permit allows you to stay in the country for up to 12 months and receive a Certificate of Registration (known as a Green Book), which must be renewed before it expires.   WORKING WHILE STUDYING.  During your studies in Ireland, you are permitted to find a casual job as this will enable you to acquire knowledge and experience that will be needed for numerous job opportunities after studies. You will be permitted to work for 20 hours per week during the semester and 40 hours per week during holiday periods.   GETTING EMPLOYED. The post-study work permit allows you as an international student to stay in Ireland even after your graduation so that you may find work for at least 2 years. However, your goal before your post-study work permit expires should be to secure good employment, as this will enable you to swiftly transition into an Irish general work visa with a stamp 1G on your passport. The Irish general work permit is initially granted for two years, after which you can decide to extend your stay or simply get permanent residency.   BECOME A PERMANENT RESIDENT IN IRELAND.  At this stage, you will be eligible to apply for permanent residency as you must have already lived in Ireland for up to 5 years, you must have a stable income along with a full-time job and good moral conduct with no criminal record. While applying for an Irish permanent residency you will get a stamp 4 on your passport, which is valid for 5 years and is renewable.

International Students in Ireland

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN IRELAND   WHY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS STUDY ABROAD Why has choosing a university in another country become so popular? A student’s goal will always be to broaden their study options and get a quality education in prestigious universities and not be limited to choosing a university in their home country. Studying abroad enables a student to be opened to various style of teaching as this can make them versatile in a workplace. The truth is, studying abroad has a great benefit to a student’s education and career, as it offers them real profitable opportunities and most importantly a feeling of security and accomplishment. A student may face many challenging issues in his or her home country, therefore studying abroad is a unique opportunity to change the environment, see more of the world and go to a place where they meet new faces, friends, career, and so on. Most importantly, they may get the opportunity to relocate and become a citizen of a reputable country thereby helping them lead a new life It’s no wonder that the number of students earning a degree outside of their home country has tripled over the past 25 years, in 2017, there were over 5.3 million international students, up from 2 million in 2000 (UNESCO, 2019).   IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOLING ABROAD IN IRELAND  One of the numerous reasons why international students study abroad in Ireland is because the country provides students with one of the best education systems in the world; offering world-class universities that consistently rank in the top universities worldwide with a diverse range of degree options and globally recognised qualifications. Ireland is a nation that has engrossed a wide range of international students for many years, this country has become a home to thousands of students from different parts of the world due to the number of excellent higher learning institutions compared to universities in other European countries like Cyprus, Turkey, Malaysia and more. Prospective study abroad students who want to study abroad in some European countries due to the affordable tuition fee should know that the universities in Ireland are more recognized and provides a better education system. Take Cyprus for example, universities in Cyprus are known to have an affordable tuition fee but it comes with disadvantages like The inability for a student to work until after 6 months of arriving in the country No post-study work visa, students can not stay back after graduation to work for a given period. International students in Cyprus can hardly get high profile jobs (professional jobs) even after graduation, no matter how knowledgeable and experienced they may be in a particular field. With these disadvantages, its no wonder the tuition fee is so low. In Ireland the tuition fees ranges from €11000 – €35000 which comes with the following advantages: 2 years post-study work permit The ability to work while schooling in Ireland  Ireland qualifications are internationally recognized which is a great start to a successful career. So much qualities at such a reasonable price.

Ireland has become a popular study abroad destination blooming with many beautiful features. It ranks 13th in the world happiness index, 2021. It has gone up 3 places from where it ranked 16th in the year 2019, as opposed to the UK that ranks 17th in the world happiness index 2021. As the cost of living is an important factor that a student should consider before deciding on where to study abroad, it is important to know that the cost of living to study in Ireland ranges from €8000 – €12000 as against that of the UK which ranges from  €12000 and above. Study in Ireland today and be a student of a prestigious university in Ireland with a rich heritage, fantastic education system, reasonable tuition and cost of living fees and several other elusive factors.   INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN IRELAND Here is a link to our youtube channel with a testimony of our client who is currently schooling and working in Ireland.

Biometric Residence Permit for UK International Students. 

BIOMETRIC RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR UK INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.  Ever wondered what a Biometric residence permit (BRP) is and why it is important to international students and prospective study abroad students at large?  Then you should be aware that a biometric residence permit (BRP) is an identity card showing that you have the right to study or work in the UK. With a BRP, you are qualified for public services and every benefit that International students in the UK are entitled to. The following are expected to collect their biometric residence permit (BRP) after 10 days of arriving in the UK.  International students with a short-stay visa, who plan to extend their visa for longer than 6 months. International students who need to transfer their visa into a new passport. Graduates who find employment and apply to get a Tier 2 work visa. Prospective study abroad students that apply for a Tier 4 (general) visa after getting admission to study a bachelor, masters or PhD degree in a university in the UK. Without a biometric residence permit (BRP), you are at risk of being sent back to your country or being refused re-entry into the UK.    BENEFITS OF THE A BRP CARD.  A BRP card helps to prove your identity safely and quickly where and whenever this is required. With the BRP card, you can provide proof of your right to live in the UK. Quickly enable employers to identify a non-EEA national’s identity, employment status and right to work in the UK.  BRP cards are easier to carry around and avoid having to produce other less convenient documents such as passports.   BIOMETRIC RESIDENCE PERMIT AND CORONA VIRUS  People tend to have challenges getting their biometric residence permit (BRP) within the stipulated period of 10 days especially since they are required to pick it up at the post office or the university.  However, due to the Corona Virus  (Covid 19) pandemic and the requirement to self-isolate, this 10-day deadline has been relaxed and made flexible. International students can pick up their BRP card anytime after the completion of their required self-Isolation. Also, universities have stopped receiving BRP cards for students due to the pandemic and the lockdown requirements but depending on the university where you are granted admission, your BRP can be sent directly to your home address. This can be done once you have presented evidence of your entry to the UK to the Immigration and Compliance Team and you used the university’s BRP ACL code in your visa application.    Meet our counsellors at Negxy Concept Limited to get the opportunity to study in reputable universities in the UK and get more information on Uk visa processing.    Negxy Concept Limited is a study abroad agency in Lagos with over 5000 successful admissions and visas under her belt.

This visa requires students to have an employment offer before application, with minimum skills and salary level. To attain the tier 2 visa, students are being advised to find good employment during their 2 or 3 years’ stay back after graduation.   CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS  FOR THE GRADUATE IMMIGRATION ROUTE VISA.   The Graduate Route will be available to students who graduate with a valid visa (Tier 4 or Student Route) on or after 1 July 2021.
