Student finance

I am an Irish citizen but a uk national. I live in Ireland. I don’t have a national insurance number and it is asking me for a national insurance number on my application. I also can’t get one until I move over so what do I do ?

It sounds like you have applied to SFE instead of applying for the EU Tuition Fee Loan only funding.

A National Insurance Number(NINO) isn't required to apply for either loan but SFE applicants do need a valid NINO before we release funding. If the applicant doesn't have a NINO then we will send their details to the DWP who will send the applicant an application pack in the post to apply for one.

But it sounds like you have applied incorrectly https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies
