May the au pair come on holiday with us, even abroad?
Short answer
Yes. Within the Schengen area, the au pair can generally travel together with their host family. For travel outside the Schengen area, an additional visa may be required depending on the destination country.

Travelling outside the Schengen area
If you want to travel together with your au pair to a country outside the Schengen area, please find out in good time about the entry and visa requirements of the destination country.
Whether an additional visa is needed and which documents are required depends, among other things, on the au pair's nationality and the travel destination. You can get the relevant information from the responsible consulate or embassy of the destination country.
