For new Danish au pair applications submitted after January 1, 2025, new rates for monthly allowance and for the amount to help finance Danish language classes will apply. The new rate for the monthly allowance (pocket money) is DKK 5000, and the new rate for the amount that helps finance Danish language classes is DKK 20,000.
The application’s submission date determines what rate applies to your application. The submission date is the date when the application has been:
- received at a diplomatic mission or at a visa application centre
- received at one of SIRI’s branch offices
- received by SIRI as physical mail or via SIRI’s contact form
- submitted by using the online application form AU1.
This means that the submission date is not dependent on when the applicant begins to fill out the application form or when the application is signed by the applicant. For instance, if the application process begins in December 2024, but the application itself is not submitted until January 2025, it is the rates for 2025 that apply to the application.
