Au Pair from Germany in Sweden

Everything you need to know to go from Germany to Sweden as an au pair — visa, salary, language overlap, and how to find a host family without an agency.

Visa & paperwork for Germany citizens

EU free movement applies

As a Germany citizen, you have the right to live and work in Sweden 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

Sweden doesn't share a language with Germany, but that's part of the appeal — most au pairs from Germany go specifically to learn one of the local languages: Swedish. Host families almost always speak some English.

What you'll earn in Sweden

Pocket Money
~SEK 3,500/month (~€310)
Working Hours
Up to 25 hrs/week

Beyond the cash, host families in Sweden typically provide: Free room & meals, language course, English-friendly environment. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
