How to hire an Au Pair
After having signed the contract there are still a few things left for you to take care of:
1. Arrange an insurance in Turkey
Participants need an insurance covering accidents and illnesses. This will be needed to apply for a visa to Turkey. Host Families in Turkey are not obligated to pay for the insurance. However, the family should offer their help in searching for the right one.
2. Apply for the visa and Residence Permit to Turkey
Participants will need to go through the visa process. In Turkey, it is also necessary to get a work permit and a residence permit. Participants cannot stay and work in Turkey without a work permit. The Host Family, as the employer, needs to submit the initial application. Another reason for the Host Family to get involved in this process is that the exact rules on the official website are available in Turkish language only.
3. Plan the Au Pair’s arrival
The Host Family needs to prepare a room for the arrival. Both parties need to agree about the pick-up place and time at the airport.
