Hi everyone,

I’m a non-EU passport holder and I’ve received an offer for a medical internship in Ireland.

I’m currently in Poland and will be applying for the Irish visa from here. The issue is that my Polish temporary residence card expires in October 2026, which means that at the time of applying I will only have about 2 months validity left on my residence card.

However, the Irish embassy website mentions that applicants need at least 3 months validity on their residence permit when applying.

I’m confused about how strict this rule is in practice.

Has anyone been in a similar situation applying for an Irish work/internship visa from Poland with less than 3 months left on their residence card?

Did it get rejected, or is there any workaround (like using the work contract/offer letter as justification)?

Also, since this is a medical internship with an official contract, does the same residence validity requirement still apply in the same way?

Any advice or real experiences would really help.

Thank you in advance.
