Bianca Mangueira Frari -Learn English in Dorset College

"My name is Bianca and I’m a Brazilian journalist. The most important reason to be in Ireland is to improve my English, thinking about getting a better job in my country. To achieve this, my only worry was about finding a good school.  I’m completely satisfied with Dorset College which is the best choice for somebody looking for a brilliant school environment.  Here you’ll find qualified, helpful and kind teachers.  It also makes you know the great feeling of this strong and traditional Irish culture, which is so pleasant"

Successful Visa Applications

If your application is successful you will be issued with a visa to enter Ireland. You should inform Dorset College immediately and make them aware of your arrangements for travel.

Arriving in Ireland

  • The issuing embassy to which you applied will place a visa on your passport
  • The dates entered on your visa indicate the dates between which you may seek to enter the state.

NOTE: It is important to note that a visa is a form of pre-entry clearance to the state only, and does not guarantee that you will be permitted to enter or remain in the state. Immigration Officers at the point of entry are entitled to question any person on arrival. If they are not satisfied with the bona-fides of any person, or their reasons for wishing to enter the state, they have the right to deny entry to any such person, despite the fact they hold a valid visa. On arrival at a port of entry, you should have any documentation relating to your stay readily available to show to an Immigration Officer.
