If you are planning to travel outside the U.S. during your first year, your DS 2019 will need a travel validation signature.\u00a0 See \u201cTravel Links\u00a0for Au Pairs\u201d on the\u00a0side\u00a0of this page for link to the\u00a0Travel Validation Request Form. At least 3 weeks before you travel, you\u00a0should print this form and send it along with your original DS-2019 form and a self-addressed stamped envelope (so your signed DS 2019 may be returned to you) to the following address.<\/p>\n
Au Pair in America
\nRiver Plaza
\n9 West Broad Street
\nStamford, CT 06902
\nAttn.: Evelyn Blum<\/p>\n
You will also need to check whether you need a visa to enter the country you intend to visit.\u00a0I have a link for Visiting Canada. Other countries requirements can be found by doing a Google search such as \u201cvisitor requirement Mexico.\u201d \u00a0Obtaining a tourist visa is solely the responsibility of the au pair.<\/p>\n
Extension Au Pairs: In your extension year, travel outside the U.S. is restricted. Please contact me before making any plans to travel outside the U.S. in your extension year.<\/p>\n
