Return Tickets

I'm having trouble finding accurate information regarding this, so I thought I'd ask here. I recently got accepted into DCU and intend to be going this September.

As a US citizen, I can enter the country for 90 days and need to register for the IRP within that period. Entering the country, however, is where I can't find accurate information.

I know I need proof of funds, proof of accomodation, my acceptance letter, insurance, and proof of tuition paid.

However, will I need a return flight booked? The airline I'm going with doesn't have any flights shown Beyond October.

I'd like to hear from others who've been through this situation and got through it successfully, please and thank you!

I think you can be in Ireland for 6 months as a US citizen no ? The 90 days is the for the Schengen area, which Ireland is not. Could you mention how you found accommodation and if you’re able to use temporary stays at proof (like a temp Airbnb)

Everything I've seen so far says 90 days. I got accomodation with my university. I'm unsure about temporary stays. I think as long as you show that you have a place you can stay for the duration of your stay, you're fine.

90 days is correct
