Au Pair Placement
Au Pair Placement
A family in Iceland may host a young foreign national (18-25) for a limited amount of time in return for a set of specific services. The individual coming to Iceland is seeking to improve language skills, possibly professional skills and broaden their cultural experience of the world by getting to know Iceland.
Residence Permit
A person aged 18-25 may apply for a residence permit if they intend to come to Iceland and work as an au pair for a host family. This person may not have any family ties to the host family.
