Information on insurance in non-EU countries for EU au pairs

Au pairs from the EU can not be beneficiaries of the coverage provided by their health insurance in countries outside the EU. This is why au pairs must take out insurance for their stay abroad. In case the au pair has private insurance in his country, he should ask if the insurance incorporates health coverage abroad. If so, it is important that you know about the health benefits that cover it and during what time in the host country.

Depending on the host country, it may be the au pair or the family who commits to the insurance costs. Also of the medical insurance, it is recommended that they contract accident and liability insurance. The au pair should clarify all possible questions with the host family before beginning the stay.
