How much do I pay the University of Galway before the visa?

The deposit that holds your place is €500, but the visa needs at least €6,000 of tuition already paid, so pay €5,500 more before you apply. You also need €10,000 of living funds with six months of statements behind them.

Is Galway a good city for Indian students?

It is smaller and cheaper than Dublin. Daft.ie put the average 2-bed rent in Connacht–Ulster at €1,374 a month in Q2 2026, against €2,634 in Dublin. But Galway rents rose 13% in a year and rooms near the campus go fast, so start your search early.
