How Long Can an Au Pair Stay in a Country?
The length of time an au pair, foreign worker or guest worker can legally stay in a country varies slightly from country to country but the longest length of time you can work as an au pair is for up to two years. For some countries it is up to 18 or even only 12 months, so do check the regulations under the specific country information section. There is no minimum length of stay but most host families will not take anyone for less than 2 or 3 months and are looking for help for as long as possible. Committment is vital to most families.
