New Regulation for Students Residing in Ireland Before 2005

28 Aug 2012

New arrangements have been announced by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) for international students who have spent more than 7-years studying in Ireland.


New arrangements will permit students who have spent more than 7-years studying here to apply for an extension to remain in the country under certain conditions.

The Regulations will initially allow students to stay for a two-year probationary period during which family re-unification cannot be applied for.
