Please also indicate your own family circumstances, and if your family is able to support you during your studies abroad, are they the primary source of financial support?

Please also indicate if you are applying for an education bank loan at the bank in your own country. You should indicate the name of the bank that you propose to approach for this loan, and if possible, get an indication from that bank that they will offer you a loan.

For most applications that are refused or are not successful because of a lack of funding, you must satisfy your institution that you have sufficient funds to maintain your study. In addition, if you need a visa to come to Ireland to study, you have to be able to show sufficient funds and financial resources to sustain you during your period of study. These funds have to be noted by the visa authorities in order for them to grant you a visa.

Note: With regards to applying to Ireland, if you’re not using a bank loan, you can use a sponsor to support you financially. The sponsor does not necessarily have to be a member of your family, but in that case, the sponsor has to indicate why he is sponsoring you, the level of sponsorship (tuition fees and accommodation), and he or she has to show his or her bank statements for six months. No unexplained amounts of money should be shown in the account. In essence, if there’s a sudden lodgement into that account, the source of that lodgement has to be indicated.
