Accommodation & Airport Pick-up

You can start your accommodation process at GISMA once you receive your visa and book your flight ticket. The process is as follows:

2.      After you send your application, you will receive an accommodation offer after a minimum of two weeks.

3.      Your offer will include a description of the accommodation, local area and costs (rent, deposits, accommodation fee, etc.). If you decline our offer, you will only receive one more.

4.      If you accept, you will receive booking confirmation - including payment details from your landlord.

5.      If you request Airport Pick-Up in your application, you will also receive a confirmation for this. Please note: help with your accommodation is not offered as part of your programme fees.
