There is no specific legislation in relation to international students applying for registration cards. They are covered by the general body of immigration law and the executive power of the Government as exercised by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
International students who wish to seek permission to remain in the State on student conditions are required to present the following documentation to their immigration officer:
1.Evidence of registration on a full time course leading to a qualification recognised by the Department of Education and Science.
2.Evidence of fees paid.
3.Evidence of finances to indicate they are in a position to financially support themselves while in the State without recourse to public funds.
