Overview

Many foreign nationals are free to live and work in Denmark. However, some are required to hold a residence and work permit - this is the case for Ukrainians, Georgians and Armenians. The specific requirements in connection with living and working in Denmark depend, first and foremost, on a person’s nationality and qualifications.

It is your own responsibility to obtain a work permit if you are required to. If you work illegally in Denmark, you risk deportation, and you and your employer risk fine or imprisonment.

Normally, professional or labour market considerations must warrant a residence and work permit, for example, if there is a lack of persons in Denmark who can carry out a specific type of work. Read general information about salaried work.

The rules also apply in the case of voluntary/unpaid work.

Overview

You can be granted a residence permit in order to function as an au pair with a host family in Denmark.

It is your own responsibility to obtain a residence permit if you are required to.

The purpose of an au pair stay

As an au pair, you can be granted a residence permit valid for a maximum of 2 years. In addition, the residence permit is limited to the validity period of the au pair contract or to the day when the youngest child in the family turns 18.

If you change your host family, you will not be granted an 2 additional years. You can be permitted to stay in Denmark for a total period of 2 years, which is the maximum for an au pair.

Duration

You may be granted a residence permit for up to 18 months, but no longer than the duration of your au pair contract. In exceptional cases, the residence permit can be extended by six months, resulting in a total of two years. Exceptional cases could be if the host family's child suffers from serious illness or a serious condition or otherwise needs special care, and if the child has a special attachment to you. Any illness or condition that the parent(s) may suffer from is normally not accepted as an 'exceptional case'.

The Immigration Service has a restrictive policy regarding extensions of au pair residence permits. As such, you should not expect an extension beyond 18 months.

If you apply for an extension, you may continue as an au pair while the Immigration Service is processing your application, provided that you are with the same host family and that the conditions for your stay remain unchanged. You and your host family must fill out a new au pair contract and enclose it with the application for extension.

If you wish to begin with a new family, you may not do so before you have been granted a new residence permit.

Family members

As an au pair, you cannot normally bring your family to Denmark.
