Airfare / travel costsIn the majority of cases, the au pair is responsible for all international travel costs. Some countries require the host family to pay for the return journey (Refer to the Visa and Regulations section for your destination country for further information).
Some families, who aren't required to do so, may choose to pay for the return sector after an agreed period of successful performance. If the host family lives in a remote location, it would be courteous for them to pay for transfers to and from the nearest airport, or alternatively pick the au pair up personally.
** Please NEVER send money in advance to an au pair to pay for their travel costs. These requests are likely to be a scam. We recommends that you reimburse the au pair when they arrive, or after a probationary period
