Denmark’s New Au Pair Rates

Denmark’s new rate for the monthly allowance for au pairs is expected to be DKK 4850, and the new rate for the amount that helps finance Danish language classes is expected to be DKK 19,305. The new rates apply to au pair applications that are submitted from January 1, 2024.

The submission date of the application determines what type of rate applies to the 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

The submission date is not dependent on when he 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 2023, but the application itself is not submitted until January 2024, the rates for 2024 will apply to the application.
