Admission is not the same as the visa

Ireland is one of the most DET-friendly destinations: the test is officially recognised by Irish student visa authorities, so it works for both admission AND the student visa — simpler than the UK.

Applying from Guatemala

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Guatemala — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Spanish-taught destinations generally do not.
