Military vet going to school in Waterford

10 years ago
Hey everyone. Im a recent veteran of the US military. I have been accepted to go to school full time at Waterford Inst of Technology starting Sept. I plan to use the Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for tuition.

My question is concerning the student registration/visa requirements by Garda. educationireland.com has a list of requirements, and I want to make sure that I understand the list correctly ( link: http://www.educationinireland.com/en/how-do-i-apply-/get-your-student-visa/for-higher-education/registration-gnib-.html )

-Prove I am enrolled in an NQA of Ireland <--How would I show proof and what is it?
-Have a letter of acceptance from school<--I have this
-Prove that i have paid €6000 fees to institution <--Does this refer to the tuition, other fees, or both? Since I will be using the GI Bill, will this be sufficient proof?
-Show an Irish bank account statement with at least €3000 <--The GI Bill pays $1429 for housing per month so would this be sufficient substitute, or is having the money the only option?
-Show you have private medical insurance at registration <--Not too worried about this one right now, but if anyone has advice on where to go to get some that would be great.

If anyone can answer any or all of it, I would greatly appreciate it.
