Ireland study visas allow their holders to live and work in Ireland for as long as they need to complete their course. In Ireland, visas of this kind are issued as either a "C visa" for those applicants whose courses will last less than three months, or "D visas" for those who wish to study in Ireland for longer than three months.

Fortunately this may lead them to an opportunity to apply for permanent residence and naturalization as an Irish citizen.
