How to Prepare for Your Erasmus+ Experience in Ireland – A Step-by-Step Guide with Full Support
Starting your Erasmus+ journey in Ireland is a life-changing opportunity – but we also know it can feel overwhelming. Travelling abroad, dealing with documents, finding accommodation, and adapting to a new culture all come with challenges.
That’s why at Edustay Navigator Ireland, we make sure you are never alone in this process. Whether you are coming as an individual student or as part of a school group, our team is here in Ireland to take care of everything, from paperwork and housing to airport transfers, transport tickets, guided trips, and even day-to-day questions once you’ve arrived. With us, the stress is lifted, and you can focus on enjoying your Erasmus+ experience.
Thanks to constant communication (including WhatsApp support, even if you don’t yet have an Irish SIM card), you always have a direct contact person here in Ireland. Schools and students know they can rely on us at every step.

Step 1: Erasmus+ Documents Made Easy
One of the most important parts of Erasmus+ preparation is paperwork. It can look complicated, but with our guidance, it becomes simple. We help schools, coordinators, and students prepare every document correctly, so nothing is missed.
Essential Erasmus+ Documents Checklist:
-
Learning Agreement / Training Agreement – we guide you through the process to ensure it’s properly signed.
-
Grant Agreement – we explain how it works and how to use your Erasmus+ support.
-
Insurance documentation – including the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
-
Valid passport or national ID card – we remind you to check dates in advance.
-
Acceptance letter from the Irish host organisation.
💡 With Edustay Navigator, all documents are checked and organised together with schools and students – so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing everything is in order.
Step 2: Packing Smartly – and Knowing You’ll Have Support on Arrival
Packing for Ireland is easier when you know that many essentials will already be arranged for you. Because our team provides practical things such as local transport tickets, advice on shopping, and even help with finding what you need in your first days, you don’t have to overpack.
Suggested Packing List:
-
Clothes for Irish weather (layers, waterproof jacket, comfortable shoes).
-
Electronics and plug adapter (Ireland uses Type G plugs).
-
Small everyday essentials (water bottle, basic medicines, toiletries).
-
Erasmus+ documents and a bank card.
💡 And remember: once you land, you are not left on your own – we pick you up at the airport, take you to your host family or residence, and make sure you feel comfortable right from the first evening.
