International & Visiting US students must have concluded their fee payment arrangement in advance of registration.
There are three methods as follows:
1. Payment via recognised agent ’EduStep’ (PaytoStudy)
Non-European Union (EU) students are strongly advised to pay their tuition fee through the PaytoStudy website.
https://nuigalway.studentfees.ie/en/studentregistration.aspx
The PaytoStudy receipt is accepted as proof of payment of tuition fees by the Irish National Immigration Service (INIS) for study visa applications and at the point of entry to Ireland.
With PaytoStudy there is no international bank transfer fee and the entire transaction takes just 48 hours from start to finish. PaytoStudy is also recommended by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service for the purposes of study visa applications.
2. International Wire Transfer
