Students from visa requiring countries need to produce evidence of payment of college fees when making a visa application.

When you make a booking with Alpha College we will send you a confirmation of your booking along with an invoice for your fees.  When you transfer the required fees we will send you a letter of acceptance and confirmation of receipt of payment.  You should present this letter with your visa application.

Letters of confirmation are only issued on receipt of payment of total fees.

In the event of a visa to enter Ireland being refused all fees will be refunded less any bank charges incurred
