Au Pair Visa

The Au Pair visa is a cultural exchange permit for individuals aged 18–35 seeking to live with an Italian family while pursuing language studies and light household work. Applicants must demonstrate at least EUR 1,900 in savings and enroll in an accredited Italian language course.

The visa permits stays up to one year and is renewable. The application fee is EUR 116, and processing typically takes 10–14 days. While the visa does not provide a pathway to permanent residence, it grants limited work authorization for occasional household duties alongside language studies.

This visa is ideal for young cultural exchange participants who want to immerse themselves in Italian language and family life while working part-time to offset living costs.
