As published by Education in Ireland on 2026-10-17: a visa-required national must apply for a visa before travelling to Ireland, and students staying more than 90 days must register with immigration within three months of arrival. For English-language course visas the page points to its separate Student Visas page, so check the official Irish immigration pages for the rule that applies to a specific course; rules change. official source
The Irish Immigration Service Delivery site has a Coming to study in Ireland section, including a page on short-term courses (page text was only partly available when fetched). Check it directly for how short English courses and longer programmes are treated; this directory does not summarise rules that could not be read. official source
