Apply For Homestay

How to Apply

Our student application is simple and easy to complete. We recommend applying at least 2-4 weeks prior to your intended arrival date to give us plenty of time to match you with a host.

Before beginning the application please have the items listed below.

You will need:

• School information
• Study dates
• Flight details

THE APPLICATION PROCESS

• Apply online and create your guest profile (accommodation preferences,  background info, dietary requirements, etc.).
• AHN receives your application and issues an invoice for the Matching Fee + 4 weeks of homestay.
• Pay your invoice – we cannot match you with a host until we receive payment. This should be done at least 3 weeks prior to arrival.
• AHN starts the matching process / finds you a host.
• Confirm your arrival details with AHN.
• AHN books airport pickup if required and confirms the placement with your host.
• AHN sends a placement report to you and your host – you can contact your host to connect prior to your arrival if you wish.

WHEN YOUR PLACEMENT BEGINS

• Arrive at your homestay.
• After the first 2 weeks in homestay you may request to end your placement once the initial 4 week period is over. You need to provide written notice to AHN and your host.
• If you wish to continue your placement, AHN will send you ongoing monthly invoices, which you must pay in order to stay in the homestay.
• You can request to end your placement any time once the initial 4 week period is over as long as you provide 2 weeks written notice to AHN and your host.

NOTE: Guests under the age of 18 require approval from their Guardian before giving notice to end their placement.
