Au Pair from Italy in Ireland

Visa & paperwork for Italy citizens

EU free movement applies

As a Italy citizen, you have the right to live and work in Ireland 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

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

What you'll earn in Ireland

Pocket Money

Working Hours

Beyond the cash, host families in Ireland typically provide: Employee rights, paid leave, payslips, English-speaking. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
