“Au Pair"
26. "Au pair" is an arrangement under which an unmarried girl aged 17 to 27 inclusive and without dependants who is a national of a Western European country, include Malta, Cyprus and Turkey, may come to the United Kingdom to learn the English language and to live for a time as a member of an English-speaking family. A girl coming for full-time domestic employment requires a work permit; and a girl admitted under an "au pair" arrangement has no claim to stay in the United Kingdom in some other capacity. When the Immigration Officer is satisfied that an "au pair" arrange- ment has been made he may admit the passenger for a period of up to 12 months with a prohibition on her taking employment. If a passenger has previously spent time in the United Kingdom as an "au pair" girl she may be admitted for a further period as an “au pair" girl but the total aggregate period should not exceed 2 years.

The possession of a work permit does not absolve the holder from complying with visa requirements.

The Immigration Officer is. however, to refuse leave to enter if his examination reveals good reason for doing so. For example, leave to enter should be refused where, whether or not to the holder's knowledge. false representations were employed or material facts were not disclosed. either in writing or orally, for the purpose of obtaining the permit, or the holder's true age puts him outside the limits for employment, or he does not intend to take the employment specified, or is not capable of doing so. But if the period of validity of the permit has expired the Immigration Officer may nevertheless adinit the passenger if satisfied that circumstances beyond his control prevented his arrival before the permit expired and that the job is still Open to him.
