Determing your Fee Status
Applicants not satisfying conditions (a) or (b) are liable for non-EU fee rates.
(a) EU FEES
(i) Nationality Test
EU passport Or Original Irish Birth Certificate Or Original EU Nationality Identity Card Or Official Irish Refugee Status (requires the appropriate original letter from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform indicating that the appropriate status has been granted).
AND
(ii) Previous Studies Test
Where an applicant has received ALL his/her full time post-primary education within the EU.
(b) EU FEES
(i) Residency Test
An applicant's principal residence for the purpose of taxation must have been in a European Union Member State for a minimum of 3 of the 5 years prior to entry to university. Prior residence as a full-time student does not qualify a student for EU fee rates.
If an applicant is under 23 years of age on the start date of the course then the principal residence for the purpose of taxation of the parents will be examined.
If an applicant is over 23 years of age on the start date of the course then the principal residence for the purpose of taxation of the applicant is examined.
A P21 form will be required in both instances.
AND
(ii) Previous Work/Studies Test
An applicant must have spent 3 of the last 5 years in full time study or work in an EU member state prior to the commencement of the course. Students classified for fee purposes as non-EU will not be permitted to change their fee status following admission. Students who have been classified as non-EU for undergraduate registration will retain this status for postgraduate registration also unless they have worked full-time for a period of at least three years in an EU Member State prior to the commencement of the postgraduate course.
This full time study/work requirement will be deemed satisfied in the case of an applicant for whom a spouse is claiming a tax benefit, which must be confirmed, by a P21 form or evidence of social welfare benefits.
