How to Get an Au Pair Visa for Luxembourg?

To become an Au Pair in Luxembourg for more than three months, you must first apply for a temporary authorisation from the General Department of Immigration. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens do not need a visa to become an Au Pair in Luxembourg. Non-EU citizens must apply for a temporary stay authorization and a type D visa before arrival. Upon arrival in Luxembourg, the Au Pair must register their residence with the local commune, complete a medical check, and apply for a residence permit to live and work legally as an Au Pair.

Typical requirements: approved Au Pair contract, valid passport, health insurance, and recent medical certificate. Duration: the visa and residence permit are usually valid for up to 12 months.


Although all non-EU applicants need a visa for Luxembourg, there are several documents that Au Pairs and Host Families need to take care of before the visa. You can find all the necessary steps in detail in our article about the Au Pair requirements in Luxembourg. Let’s look into them briefly:

1
Permission from the Luxembourg Ministry of Education
 
Remember that only Au Pairs who received a permit from the ministry can become participants of the program. The participant has to submit the application with all required documents. After receiving the confirmation, the Host Family needs to submit it to the National Youth Service.
 
2
Get a temporary stay in Luxembourg
 
The Au Pair needs to apply for a temporary stay at the Department of Immigration. They will need a copy of the participant’s passport, birth certificate and the Au Pair’s approval from the Ministry.

Visa for Luxembourg

The type of visa will depend on the length of the stay. If the Au Pair and the Host Family agreed on a stay for less than three months, the participant needs to apply for a C-type visa. If the Au Pair wants to stay longer than three months, they  will require a D-type visa.
 
Beyond the specific documents mentioned above, don’t forget to sign the contract as it confirms the Au Pair’s goal of visiting Luxembourg. 
 
We strongly recommend Au Pairs to get in touch with the embassy or consulate of Luxembourg in their home country to find out more about the exact requirements for the visa application.

What else?

  • The Au Pair can stay for a maximum of 12 months in Luxembourg.
  • After their arrival in Luxembourg the Au Pair has to present the arrival declaration within the first 3 days, register with their Host Family, undergo a medical examination and apply for a residence permit.
