<p>Tips for visa application in Dublin</p><p>To save money and time, it is much better that a student representative arranges the visa application in Dublin on behalf of 10 to 20 students as a group. </p><p>Fees breakdown (15 students as a group for example):</p><p>1. Visa fee in Postal Order for 15 students: euro 603.70 (including PO fee of euro 3.70, which will be charged for each PO you purchase) 2. Same-day return rail tickets from Cork to Dublin (2 return journeys): euro 80 at most (if booking earlier the price can be much cheaper) 3. Lunch(2 times): euro 30 4. Taxi (from Heuston station to Chinese Embassy, 4 times): euro 60 </p><p>So the total is euro 773.70 at most for all 15 students, each student will pay euro 51.58, only euro 11.58 each for 2 trips to Dublin for visa application on top of visa fee (normally euro 40 each), otherwise if each of you applying for visa on your own, each of you will have to pay about euro 140 (by coach to Dublin) including visa fee, certainly it will cost more if taking trains. </p>
