I got a phd Admission in Ireland, I'm in the process of applying for an Irish student visa.

Unfortunately, I have two previous visa refusals, both are tourist visa. My Schengen visa refused because of a missing application supporting document (noc / leave letter from employer) and UK tourist visa refused because of unusual deposit of fund, the Quote from the refusal letter “origin of these funds is unclear and the deposits are inconsistent with the transaction history shown”.

Will these refusals affect my chances of getting an Irish student visa? Is there anything else I can do besides attaching previous refusal letters to support my visa application like a cover letter or something ?.

Any advice appreciated

Where are you applying from? What nationality are you?

why would the other refusals affect you? They will look at your application on merit alone and that's it. UK and Ireland are different countries, so their student visa process is different.

If your accounts are in order, you have a proper PHD program lined up and funding...then there probably won't be an issue. But the only way to find out is apply

Thanks for your reply.

understood the fact they must treat separately.I got the offer letter for the program. i have scholarship and my savings to cover half of the funding, but explaining other half and the sources of funding /sponsors seems to be a big deal
