Visa Matters
Q: What kind of visa will I be applying to become an au pair in China?
A: Au Pairs will be on either exchange visa (F visa) or student visa ( X2 visa) to participate in the program for no longer than 6 months.
If the au pair will participate in the program for 12 months, he/she has to apply for X1 visa to China. An alternative is to renew the visa for another 6 months after
6 months stay in China.

Q: Am I able to apply for a visa to China if I'm not currently in my home country?

​
Q: Do I have to pay for the visa fee by myself?
A: Yes, when you apply for the visa, you will have to pay for the visa fee yourself. However, the visa fee will be reimbursed upon your completion of the au pair program.

Q: Will I be able to travel abroad or travel back to my home country during my stay in China?
