Can you be an au pair in the Netherlands?

A few questions, answered against the IND’s conditions and your passport. Your answers stay in this browser unless you choose to join the waitlist.

Your nationality

Your age

On the day the application would be filed, not the day you arrive.

Are you married, or do you have children?

Foster children count.

Have you ever held a Dutch residence permit?

For any purpose — study, work, family.

Checked September 2026. This is information, not legal advice: the recognised sponsor files the application and the IND decides. Conditions and fees are revised, so check the sources before you act on this.
