I have received a job offer from a university in Ireland, and I am currently in the process of applying for an Employment (Scientific Researcher) visa for Ireland. One of the required documents is an up-to-date bank statement.
However, the amount of money I have in my bank account is not that much (around USD 4500) and I would like to know if there is a minimum amount of money available in the account before applying, as I do not want my application to be rejected.
Is there a minimum financial requirement for an Employment (Scientific Researcher) visa to Ireland? And if there is, how much is it? Thanks.
Edit: The account I have opened was solely for the purpose of visa application, but for New Zealand, not Ireland. It is about two months old, and the money in it has been put there only once (during the opening). I am not currently employed, as I have just finished my PhD (mid-November), and this would be my first real job. That money was just something I borrowed to some relative while I was a teaching assistant in Auckland, New Zealand.
