Understanding the Irish Study & Work Program

Ireland offers an excellent opportunity to study English while being able to work part-time to support yourself.

The Irish study visa allows you to enroll in English language courses while working up to 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during holidays. This makes Ireland an attractive destination for those wanting to improve their English while gaining work experience.

Students typically enroll in 25-week English courses at recognized language schools. Upon arrival, you register with immigration and receive a residence permit (IRP card) valid for the duration of your studies, renewable for up to 2 years for language students.

The work permission is automatic with your student visa - you don't need a separate work permit. This allows you to offset living costs through part-time employment in sectors like hospitality, retail, or customer service.

Program Benefits:

  • Study English in an English-speaking country
  • Work part-time to support yourself financially
  • Experience Irish culture and lifestyle
  • Potential pathway to further study or work in Ireland

Program Structure:

Course Length: 25 weeks (6 months) of English classes

Work Rights: 20 hours/week during term, 40 hours/week during holidays

Renewability: Can be extended up to 2 years total for language study
