Start Your New Life in Ireland

What is the Study and Work Program?
Ireland offers a unique visa called the Stamp 2. It lets you study English full-time while working up to 20 hours per week. During school holidays, you can work 40 hours per week. It is the most accessible legal path to live and earn in Europe.

Learn English
Enroll in a recognized language school in Dublin, Cork, or Galway. All levels accepted, from complete beginner to advanced.

Work Legally
Work up to 20 hours per week during your course and 40 hours during holidays. Ireland has one of the highest minimum wages in Europe.

Build Your Future
Many students transition to work permits or longer-term residency after their course ends. Ireland is a real gateway to Europe.
