Checklist for a temporary stay abroad

If you are going abroad for up to 6 weeks, it is a good idea to check a few things before you go. Among other things, think about: 

Permission to work abroad

Working from other countries may have consequences for where you have to pay wage tax or are socially insured. There are also situations where employment law of the other country may apply.  Radboud University is responsible for this and has an important duty of care for you as employee.

The following instructions apply to working from abroad:

  • Working from abroad full-time is not permitted without prior written permission from the faculty’s Executive Board and positive advice from Global Mobility Services with regard to the consequences concerning foreign labour, tax and social insurance law
  • Hybrid working from abroad for cross-border workers from Germany and Belgium is permitted up to a maximum of 49.5% of your working hours

Always ask your supervisor for written permission if you plan to work abroad. Each request will be submitted to Global Staff Services of the HR Division for advice.
