Thank you so much for making this video, it was very informative more especially for me since i am hoping to start the application end of second semester which is early November.

[@ThatoN]

You’re welcome🥰 but remember to start the process earlier if you have a departure time in mind. Like if you want to come beginning of next year, start now if you have the funds

[@hawanatuusmankamara]

Please guys friend Need a help here i want to been an Au-pair but have been looking for a agency that can help me out bcuz afraid of scam 😆 🤔 here in Dubai working as Nanny Anyone that knows links on any agency I'm interested

[@MotlalepulaLefoka-te9zb]

Hey sis thank you so much , so can i ask, we apply online or we have to go to the nearest office? . Am 25 i will be turning 26 in November. So can i still apply and how long will reply so that i can still be qualifying?

[@itstasha8644]

Hi did you go for a visa interview at the embassy and how did it go

[@justanobody8470]

when will i need to pay the application fee? after filling in all information and uploading all documents? giving out so much private information and docs on a website is kinda scary especially bc its a first

[@ThatoN]

Yeah after. I actually get you, but they are legit lol so you’re good

[@mello4392]

Hey thato, great video. How long did the whole process take for you?

[@ThatoN]

Thank you. It was along process from getting my documents ready to finding a family to match with and getting a visa date Realistically, give yourself 6-12 months unless if you already have the documents and just need to apply

[@justanobody8470]

i just started my application today and tbh this whole online application thing is so scary as a south african lol.

[@ThatoN]

How love?

@@ThatoN since a lot of us are merely used to being exposed to online things being scams and how some things are too good to be true ... you know how it goes

Hey gal thank you so much with your video, im in the process and am scared am not that fluently speaking English 😅is it considered

What is the age limit for au pair?

[@ThatoN]

26 in America

[@zt9665]

Hi girl..how much did you pay for the visa?

[@ThatoN]

Hey girl it’s $160 depending on the rate at the time

[@Itumeleng-Phago]

Where did you do your drives license and learners test for that much? I get quotations for 6000 and up😭😭

[@ThatoN]

The costs I mentioned are for booking at the traffic department or whatever it’s called but even at a driving school it’s definitely not that much. Also I’m from Klerksdorp and I think doing your learners test classes were like R150-200 if I’m not mistaken

[@adry_Vantonder]

[@jordanwilliams4341]

Hey! Thank you soooo much for this video, it was so helpful! I have two questions though, but I'll try to keep it short. 1. The agency I'm with mentioned something about luggage tax when you either land in New York OR you arrive at the hotel for orientation. I actually wasn't aware of this until just a few days ago. Do you know what they might be referring to and how much it costs, roughly? 2. Sending money home. Is this possible? Would I need to open a new (U.S) bank account once I arrive or is it possible to get paid in my South African account, can SA Standard bank cards be used over there? One of the main things for me is to be able to send money home, and I'm just wondering if it's possible, and if bank fees is going to be a massive obstacle. Thank you so so much 🖤💕.

[@ThatoN]

Hey So I have no idea what luggage tax would be But you have to open a new account when you get here and you can send money back home through apps that are connected to your bank here and to various people in SA
