Frequently Asked Question
Does a transfer au pair need a new visa?
Last Updated 15 days ago
For a transfer au pair, their "old" family is noted on their residence permit. The residence permit is linked to a type of "informal authorization" for au pairs from the Federal Employment Agency.
However, since a transfer from one host family to another has taken place, this authorization must also be renewed. This means that the transfer au pair may only begin working with their "new" family after this authorization has been reissued.
This is important to note, as violations of this rule may be considered illegal employment (undeclared work). Both the host family and the au pair should avoid the legal consequences in any case.
It is also important to note that the au pair can only work with their "new" family for the remaining time of the approved au pair year.
