Moving abroad

Working from abroad may affect where you have to pay income tax or which social security legislation applies to you. There are also situations where labour law of the other country may apply. For these reasons, within Radboud University, moving abroad and working from abroad is not allowed. The exception is for cross-border workers who move to Belgium or Germany, they are allowed to work a maximum of 49.5% of their time from home. Furthermore, the following policy applies to moving and working from abroad:

  • Always seek written permission from your supervisor;
  • After written permission from your supervisor, submit the situation to the Global Mobility Advisor(s);
  • The Global Mobility Advisor(s) will assess your tax and social security position for the period of your stay abroad;
  • If negative advice is given, working from abroad cannot take place.

Cross-border worker

If you live in Germany or Belgium and work at Radboud University, you are a cross-border worker. You will be facilitated to be a tax resident in your country of residence and be socially insured there, rather than in the Netherlands.

Temporarily working from abroad

If you plan to go abroad temporarily and work from there (for research or teaching, for example) and you know you will return to the Netherlands, take several issues into account.
