'Dutch Au-Pair Bureau Continues Controversial Practices in UK'
The Dutch au-pair agency Nina Care continues to encourage applicants to travel to the United Kingdom without the required visa, despite previous promises to stop. An investigation by The Times found that the bureau advised using tourist visas for work, framing it as cultural exchange rather than formal employment. This practice violates British immigration law and has previously led to detention and deportation of au pairs. Helena Wray, a migration law professor, described the actions as clearly illegal and risky for host families, who could face fines up to 60,000 pounds. Owner Jasmijn Kok stated that the agency informs women about what is possible within current rules post-Brexit.
