How do i quickly get a visa from a european country?

Question

I have been planning to get a visa for the last months in some European countries as an au pair but haven't found the family i wanted and so didn't know which country I was going to be in.

I want to leave in september so am wondering if I should even included countries other than the UK in my search (where I don't need a visa for 6 mnths and under) or if it would be a waste of time - if i can't get a rush on my visa. If I apply in person can i get a visa right away or is it still 8 weeks? thanx

Answer 1

Au Pair program lasts for 1 year - and that's why even if you can stay for 6 months in the UK without visa - it's not enough time.

I don't know what country are you from but for example applying from the Netherlands as Au Pair to other countries lasts minimum 3 months - because you need to fill out many forms, find the family and apply for a visa.

So i think you won't make it till september.

I hope these sites will help you to find a family in any country you chose
