• be aged between 17 and 27;
• plan to stay in the United Kingdom as an au pair for no more than two years;

Nationals of European Economic Area countries are not included in the official au pair scheme but are free to come to the United Kingdom as au pairs. If you are a Bulgarian or Romanian national you will need to apply for an accession worker card before you take work in the United Kingdom. Details of how you can apply for this card can be found in the Bulgarian and Romanian nationals section of the site.
