Overview

If you need to submit biometrics for a residence permit, please select the “Residence Permit (biometrics)” category when registering. Please ensure that you have paid all fees indicated in the Documents Required section and printed all payment confirmations in color before visiting the Visa Application Centre.

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 Belarusian citizens. 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

The term AU pair means 'on equal terms'. The idea of an AU pair stay is for a young person to stay with a host family with children under the age of 18 'on equal terms' with the other members of the family. The purpose is for the AU pair to improve language and/or professional skills as well as broaden his/her cultural horizon by becoming more acquainted with Denmark. In return, the AU pair participates in the host family's domestic chores (e.g. cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, babysitting) for a maximum of five hours a day, and no more than six days a week.

If your chores exceed these time limits, or if you carry out work other than domestic chores, or carry out chores for someone other than your host family, then you are working illegally in Denmark.

Duration

You may be granted a residence permit for up to 24 months, but no longer than the duration of your AU pair contract.

If you have been granted a residence permit as an AU pair for less than 24 months, and 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.

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.
