Au Pair from Portugal in Austria
Everything you need to know to go from Portugal to Austria as an au pair — visa, salary, language overlap, and how to find a host family without an agency.
Visa & paperwork for Portugal citizens
EU free movement applies
As a Portugal 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
Austria doesn't share a language with Portugal, but that's part of the appeal — most au pairs from Portugal go specifically to learn one of the local languages: German. Host families almost always speak some English.
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.
