Au Pair from Germany in Austria

Visa & paperwork for Germany citizens
EU free movement applies
As a Germany citizen, you have the right to live and work in Austria without a visa or work permit. You only need a valid passport or national ID and to register with the local authorities after arrival.
Language overlap
Good news — German is one of the official languages of Austria, so you'll be able to communicate from day one. Many Germany au pairs choose Austria for exactly this reason.
What you'll earn in Austria
Beyond the cash, host families in Austria typically provide: Room & board, half German course, 5 weeks holiday. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
