Dublin is a thriving capital city and one of
the most dynamic technology and business
hubs in Europe. Global finance, tech,
pharmaceutical multinationals and the
energetic start-ups of Silicon Docks are
only minutes away from Trinity College.
LOCATION
With wonderful mountains to the south
and a stunning coastline to explore, Dublin
has a lot to offer. Many low cost airlines
connect Dublin to hundreds of European
destinations, all on a student budget. Jet
to Paris or London in under an hour.
Dublin is relatively small in size and a
great walking city. You can stroll from
Trinity College to the famous St. Stephen’s
Green in less than 15 minutes.

Dublin has a great literary legacy with many
www.discoverireland.ie/visit-dublin
luminaries of Irish literature such as Joyce,
Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Stoker, Kavanagh and
Beckett, being associated with the city. Dublin’s
entertainments are legendary, from the delights
of the Guinness Storehouse and Temple Bar to
more cultured nights at the theatre or dining
in one of the city’s fine eateries. Known for its
welcoming and friendly culture, it’s no surprise
that people from all over the world come to
enjoy the “craic” in Dublin.
13Getting Around Dublin

an address, postal codes are always odd
numbers on the Northside and even
numbers on the Southside. Generally,

students are the bus, train and tram. All
main transport links navigating to the
city centre will bring you to Trinity
College or within a short walking
distance. The Luas (tram network), has
a stop outside Trinity, enabling easy
access around the city.

15Information for International Students VISAS AND IMMIGRATION All non-EU citizens will require a study visa. Citizens from some countries will require an entry visa to enter Ireland. This varies depending on your citizenship so it is important that you check if this is applicable to you. If your country is listed in Schedule 1 of the Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) you will not require an entry visa. For citizens of all countries not included on Schedule 1, such as China and India; an entry visa will be required to travel to Ireland for study. If you require an entry visa, you must apply online at least 3 months before you travel to Ireland.

Due to this, you are encouraged to use the PayToStudy payment facility which includes a receipt for visa purposes. Other visa documentation you will be asked to provide includes evidence of private medical insurance and finances. The inclusion of incorrect documents could mean that your application is refused. In order to prepare the necessary documents to support your visa application and allow for the lengthy processing times, we advise all students to apply for their entry visas by 31st May 2018.
