Accommodation


Host institutions

At some host institutions there are special housing for international researchers available.

The National Hospital in Tórshavn has a number of houses, apartments and rooms for rent for doctors and other staff members working for a limited period within the Health Service.

The University of the Faroe Islands has a house with three rooms available for researchers on a short-term basis. The university also has appointments with private houseowners who rent rooms to foreign researchers participating in summer institutes.

Other host institutions may also provide assistance for researchers searching for housing.

Houses and apartments

Houses and apartments for rent can be found on www.kitt.fo, on facebook here and on the web portal Torg here . It is advisable to consult a Faroese speaking person when looking for rents in papers and portals as advertisements will be in Faroese. Also, a local may be able to help you to get in contact with rental companies.
 
In most cases, it is necessary to pay a deposit in advance to the amount of one to three months’ rent which is returned when moving out if the apartment or house is in the same condition as when the tenancy started.
