Hello John, How are you? I agree with Mariah in that when an offer of this kind is presented to you the applicant, the company does in fact take care of the cost; however, just because the cost wasn't discussed, doesn't mean that it is not their intention. What you can do to assure yourself is call them and inquire; the worst scenario would be to miss out on an opportunity or fall short in acquiring the position, simply due to missed information. I had a situation similar to this and what we did to accommodate both sides was a Skype interview. When it was discovered or decided that there was a desire to move forward, we spoke about next steps. My grandmother would always tell me, "where there is a will there is a way." Best wishes in your endeavors

Hey John, the company is usually pretty clear if they're going to pay for your airfare and hotel costs. If they don't say anything, I'd assume the cost is on you. But it's always worth asking!
