However, non-EU citizens who are looking to stay on the program for up to 3 months, will need to obtain a valid passport, a return ticket and a Schengen visa. If you plan on Au Pairing in Spain for longer than 3 months, you will need to obtain a student or Au Pair visa from your local Spanish embassy prior to starting your trip.

If you are looking to acquire a student visa, you will need to be enrolled in a language school for around 20 hours per week however, the number of hours you will be required to attend will differ depending on the school you have been accepted into. For Au Pair visas, may only be required to attend for around 6-10 hours depending on how long your placement is for.
