Au Pair in Denmark: visa information

The Host Family begins the application process by logging into the form using NemID. Part 1 needs to be filled out by the Host Family and signed using NemID. This way the family obtains a reference number and the password to part 2 - the Au Pair should receive both of them from the Host Family, access the second part and fill it in. If the Au Pair or the Host Family needs more time to attach the required documents, the application may be saved as a draft, but it has to be submitted no later than 30 days after the beginning. The application can be found on the official website New in Denmark.

Fill out the application offline as well. On the same website you can download the application form and fill it out on-screen or manually, after printing it out. Print the application and sign by hand.

Further information

• The Au Pair can receive a residence permit for 24 months, but the period cannot be longer than the duration stated in the contract.
•  If the permit validity is less than 24 months, the Au Pair can apply for an extension. The application for an extension must be submitted before the current permit expires.
• The Au Pair should make sure that they have a valid passport. The permit is valid up to 3 months before the expiration date of the passport. This means, if the passport expires in 7 month, the permit will be valid for no longer than 4 months.
