VISA & ENTRY CONDITIONS

With the aim of making Europe even more attractive for foreign researchers, the European Union adopted in May 2016 a new Directive for the entry and residence of non-EU researchers. The European Union Member States had the obligation to implement the new rules in their national legislations by May 23rd 2018.

The "hosting agreement" is an agreement signed by a public or private research organisation in the Member State and the researchers, through which they both agree to undertake a research project. The research organisation can only sign a hosting agreement with a researcher if there are funds available for the research and they are satisfied with the researcher's qualifications and skills. It must include some information, notably the title or puspose of the research activity and the start and end date of the activity or its estimated duration.

 

Individual European countries do not have identical rules of procedure; they need to be verified for each country. Have you decided your work destination? READ MORE on the EURAXESS National Portals.
