10,000€ Requirement

Hello!
I am from the US living in Dublin for my masters with the support of family in the form of a weekly bank transfer. I do not have immediate access to 10,000€ in the standard sense but over the year and especially after I start working with stamp 2 I will. I also have a credit card with high limits that is under my name. Is proof of weekly bank transfers enough to fulfill the requirement? Have any of you dealt with a similar situation? Thank you

Did you have your tuition and housing paid in full?

Nope they just asked for proof that I was in school and proof of medical insurance. No offense being an American they overlook certain stuff for us compared to other people. Even when I got my irp the lady didn’t ask for proof of finances but I saw her ask an Asian person who clearly was well off so no need to be nervous

Hi- I just filled out all the information needed to prove that I have a “sponsor” my father.

Here’s what I needed

Clear details of the financial support that each sponsor intends to give you for the duration of your stay in Ireland, showing that the amount of financial support they intend to give you is available and that they have enough funds to maintain themselves and other family members. Evidence accepted can, for example, include a letter from your sponsor’s employer confirming employment details, plus 3 recent payslips. If your sponsor is involved in business, evidence of this must be provided, such as a Certificate of Registration from the authorities in your country

An up-to-date bank statement for each sponsor, showing what money has been paid into and out of the account over the last six months

Bank statements must be on headed paper. Where original bank statements are not available, internet printouts will be accepted once every page has been notarised by the bank and the statement is accompanied by letter from the bank confirming its authenticity. Handwritten entries or details on bank statements will not be accepted

Your sponsor’s name, address, account number and account type must be visible on the statement

Any large or irregular lodgements (for example – student loans, lodgement of Savings Certificates, sale of a property or any similar type sources) must be fully explained

If your sponsor is providing a bank statement from a deposit/savings account, a letter from their bank confirming that you can access the funds must also be provided

Credit cards are not accepted as evidence of finances

This is really good information, what of in a situation where your sponsor is not your direct family member but he has the funds to sponsor you?
