United Kingdom with a valid passport
or identity card, regardless of the
purpose and length of stay. If they want
to stay longer than six months, an
application for extension of stay has to
be made before the end of this period.
The passport or identity card, two
photos and the completed EEC Form 1
have to be sent or taken in person tot he
Home Office Immigration Department,
Lunar House, Wellesley Road, Croydon,
Surrey.
At the time of the application,
information will be given concerning
registration with the Aliens Police. At
the beginning of a stay no registration is
necessary (for EEC nationals).
Non-EEC NATIONALS need a
valid passport to enter the United
Kingdom, together with a letter of
invitation from the host family. This
letter has to be shown to the
Immigration Officer, who will give
permission to stay in the UK.
Personal expenses
It is strongly recommended that
an AU PAIR girl should bring enough
money with her to Britain. Bus and
Underground fares within London are
very expensive and distances should not
be underestimated. Pocket money given
by the hostess does NOT cover the cost
of school fees, nor is it enough for
purchasing clothes. Pocket money is
just pocket money. It is essential to have
enough money for the first week to pay
school fees, etc., and enough means to
pay for the return journey home. Every

A girl who works as an au pair must work at least six hours a day and five days a week.
She must look after the children and do a lot of the housework. She has to share a room
with the children. It is not necessary to be able to speak English. The family will pay for
the journey to England and also give the au pair girl money to study in England and buy
clothes. Girls under 17 years of age cant be au pairs. Girls coming from EEC countries
have to have a passport and a letter of invitation from the host family in order to come
into the country. If the au pair has any problems when she is in England she can go to
the Aliens Registration Office.
