There is an initial non-refundable registration fee of €400 and the guardianship fee is payable in advance.
Your child must also have a Student Expense Account to enable Guardianship Ireland to pay for any optional services and for emergencies eg. airport transfers, Host Family stays and pocket money.
The Student Expense Account requires at least €1500 at the start and regular top-ups when the balance falls below €600. All money remaining in this account at the end of your child’s stay with Guardianship Ireland will be refunded to you, having deducted any outstanding fees or expenses.
*These services involve external agencies and therefore incur costs which will be taken from the Student Expense Account.
Host Family stays cost between €90-€110 per night depending on location and reason for the stay.
If you require a service not available in your child’s package an additional €60 charge will be made.
If your child is under 13 years of age we advise you to opt for the Platinum package to ensure maximum care and support.
The Basic package is not available if your child is under the age of 13.
If your child is not registered with Guardianship Ireland but needs to make use of our services there will be a €300 administration fee on each occasion our services are used.
