Limits of the record
  • Li a pagina inteira do dofi sobre au pair youth. Procurei nacionalidade, pais de origem, idade minima e idade maxima: a pagina nao indica nenhuma. So diz 'a young person'. O tema federal 'third-country nationals' aparece no caminho do URL e na navegacao, o que e navegacao e nao uma afirmacao sobre quem pode participar. O valor que aqui estava (procedimento de autorizacao pedido pela familia de acolhimento) nao responde a esta pergunta e nao tem lugar em nenhum dos cinco rectangulos desta via.

What combination of travel, work, study or training does the programme permit?

A young person temporarily taken into a host family, who receives board and lodging in exchange for light daily household chores and thereby perfects their language skills and broadens their development.

Limits of the record
  • The federal page sets no age limit or other qualifying condition: it states that the conditions to be fulfilled by the host family and the au pair are published on the Regions' own websites.
  • chars 128-459

Limits of the record
  • Procurei quota, sorteio, limite de participacoes anteriores, limite de empregadores/familias e limite de estudo. A pagina nao tem nenhum desses limites. O valor que aqui estava (taxa, registo criminal, certificado medico, contrato) e preparacao documental e foi movido para r4, como a auditoria indicou.

What funds, insurance, onward travel or similar preparation is particularly important?

For the national long-stay visa the au pair must present proof of full payment of the fee, the original work permit, a certificate of no convictions for crimes or malpractices in common law, and a medical certificate showing no disease that may pose a danger to public health. The official source does not state a funds, insurance or onward-travel requirement.

How long can the person stay, can the programme be extended or repeated, and what happens when it ends?
