Young people from around the world get the possibility of living for a certain time in a German family. They should not be a paid domestic help, but be an equal family member. So to say a ‘’big sister, a big brother for the other children. To their duties includes easy housework and above all the support of ‘’younger brothers and sisters’’.

Which Au pair needs a visa?

Au pairs from non-member states (except the USA, Norway and Iceland) need a passport and an entry approval to enter Germany.

Entry approval is a special Au pair visa, which the Au pair must apply for with the responsible German embassy or a consulate in their homeland.

Without a valid visa you cannot come from a non-member state country legally as an Au pair to Germany. If you do this nevertheless, then you’re breaking the German law and it can be proven. For these problems there is no existing possible support.

How do I get a visa

From the German consulate / embassy in your country you must apply for the visa.


You get an invitation letter and an au-pair contract, which are to be submitted to the consulate / the embassy. After applying it will take still approximately 1 months, until you receive the visa. If possible in this time host parents and us endeavor to accelerate the procedure.  However on each case certain latencies must be considered on this schedule.
