# International Students
## English Language Requirements
All applicants to Trinity are required to provide official evidence of proficiency in the English language.
Accepted English language qualifications [can be found here](https://www.tcd.ie/study/english-language-requirements/ "https://www.tcd.ie/study/english-language-requirements/").

## Visa Requirements
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs issues visas to citizens of certain countries who wish to travel to Ireland. Further information on student visas and requirements can be found on the Department of Foreign Affairs website visa section by clicking [here](http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Students).
Students who need visas are strongly advised to apply for a visa as soon as they have been offered, and have accepted a place, on a Trinity College Dublin academic programme. Applicants should note that visa applications can take time to be processed and that this time period can vary from a few weeks to, in some cases, six months. The average processing time is approximately 8-12 weeks. Please note that the Graduate Studies Office does not assist in the processing of visa applications.
Only students who intend to enrol on full-time academic programmes can apply for a student visa. Student visas are not approved for part-time academic programmes.
## Immigration Requirements
Students from non visa-required countries are advised to carry their Trinity acceptance letter in their hand luggage when they arrive in Ireland – as immigration officials may ask to see the letter.
Students from outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), or Switzerland must register in person, shortly after arrival in Ireland, at the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB). The GNIB is located at 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 (Tel: +353 1 616 7700).
EU, EEA, or Swiss nationals, who are resident in Ireland to follow an approved academic programme, are not subject to these immigration requirements.
## International Admissions and Study Abroad
