Nationality, current location, age, previous study in Ireland and any Irish immigration permission you already hold can change the correct route.<\/p>\n<h2>Who should use this form?<\/h2>\n<p>Use this form if you are planning your <strong>first Academic Year English programme in Ireland<\/strong> and want ISI Dublin to check your route before you book.<\/p>\n<p>We will ask about your nationality, where you are currently living, whether this is your first Academic Year, any Irish immigration permission you already hold, your date of birth, preferred timetable, start date and accommodation needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we ask these questions first?<\/h2>\n<p>Not every international student follows the same commercial or immigration process. A visa-required student applying from abroad, a visa-exempt student and someone already living in Ireland with another permission may all need different next steps.<\/p>\n<p>The screening helps us avoid giving you the wrong price, wrong visa information or wrong booking route.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ay-get-started-form\">\n<style id=\"wpforms-css-vars-232\">\n\t\t\t\t#wpforms-232
