No deal brexit - aupairs

[northdulmum]

Any ideas at all as to how to prepare for no deal brexit and the employment of an aupair?

She doesn?t have a passport so is applying for one

Will they need a visa?

Has anyone looked into this?

Have you not looked into this yourself northdulmum if you are that worried about employing an aupair from abroad? Can you enlighten us as to how Brexit would prevent this?

[northdulmum]

yes i've found quite a bit online now. I'm not worried about it, just want to make sure i'm ready - i think its a case of just more admin but otherwise it's ok. You can use ID until Dec 2020 after which they'll need passports. Then a letter saying you're employing them as and when they cross the boarder post October 31. I'm not sure whether the points system makes a difference to aupairs if they are coming over for a specific job.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted!

Before the Eastern European countries joined the EU, we used to provide a letter of invitation for our au pairs, who were able to work in Britain/EU for up to 2 years as an au pair. I imagine something similar will replace the free movement after suicide Brexshit.

As au pairs are not employees (it's a cultural exchange programme) there are different rules. It's not really going to change at all on 31st October, even under a no-deal Brexit.
