Payment Methods for Academic Year Students
First Academic Year bookings require the full invoice to be paid before ISI issues the Letter of Acceptance. The booking deadline for a promotion and the date you complete payment are separate parts of the process.
TransferMate
TransferMate is the standard international payment route used by ISI Dublin. It allows students to follow clear payment instructions and complete an international transfer through an approved payment facility.
Card payments
Card payment can also be accepted where available. An authorised third party may pay on behalf of a student, provided the payment is handled correctly and can be linked to the booking.
Can I pay in instalments?
Standard instalment plans do not apply to First / new Academic Year bookings. The full invoice must be paid before the Letter of Acceptance is issued.
Any case-specific exception would need to be approved by Accounts and should not be assumed as part of the normal sales process.
When do I need to pay?
A promotional booking can be secured within the booking window even when the course starts later, subject to the promotion conditions.
However, the payment date should also fit your immigration timeline. Visa-required students need the Letter of Acceptance before progressing with the relevant visa application, and that letter is issued after full payment.
Payment and visa timing
If you require a visa, paying at the latest possible point may leave too little time for document preparation and visa processing. Earlier payment is generally safer when immigration timing is involved.
Check the invoice before paying
Review the course, start date, timetable, accommodation and any additional services shown on your school documents before completing payment.
What happens after full payment?
Once the relevant booking requirements and full payment are complete, ISI can issue the Letter of Acceptance and the next stage of the pre-arrival / immigration process can begin.
