If you need to apply for a visa before travelling to Ireland, we recommend that you check the accommodation offer of the school where you are going to study, at least for the first 4 weeks.
Some of the Latin American countries do not require a visa to travel, if this is the case, you can book your accommodation in Ireland for the first few days in a hotel or hostel.
This is the quickest and easiest way, as with only a couple of weeks booked, you can check the fixed accommodation options while in the country.
Where to get accommodation in Ireland for the first few days?
The search and booking of the hotel or hostel can be done through portals such as Booking.com, hotels.com o hostelworld.com
You can also turn to sites such as Airbnb where renting rooms in shared houses or flats is very common among students.
Accommodation in Ireland through educational institutions and with the advice of Booms Studies can also be a convenient and comfortable option if you want to stay close to where you study.
