Need help as a guest?
To work at Aarhus University as a non-employed guest researcher or a non-employed/non-enrolled guest PhD student requires a work and residence permit.
We gladly offer our international guest researchers and guest PhD students assistance in the application process for a relevant and necessary work and residence permit.
Your host takes the first step...
Your host at AU should initiate the process by proving us with information about your visit at AU.
Ask for assistance – it’s simple!
As a guest, you are asked to complete a questionnaire to provide us with the necessary information.
We will contact you as soon as we have been contacted by your AU-host.
Processing time - don't wait
The authorities processing time of the relevant permits might be up to 7-8 weeks. You are not allowed to work during this period. Therefore, do not hesitate to acknowledge us about your visit by completing the questionnaire.
