Appointment Policy
Visiting professors are registered by the HR Department.
Visiting professors who receive a salary from K.U.Leuven are paid according to salary scale 14-11. Their salary is subject to taxes and to full social security contributions.
The deadline for the official request to arrive at the HR Department (with all the signatures and all the necessary attachments) is:- For EEA citizens: at the latest one month before the start date
- For non-EEA citizens (and Romanian/Bulgarian citizens): as a visa and work permit application are required, we advise the Faculty/Department to submit the official request for the appointment, fully approved and with the necessary attachments, ideally 3 months in advance.
For the visa application at the embassy/consulate in the country of residence and the registration at the city hall of the place of residence in Belgium, the HR Department will:
- for EEA visiting professors (except for Romanian/Bulgarian citizens): when paid via a salary: issue an “annex 19bis”; when unsalaried: issue a letter confirming their registration
- for non-EEA visiting professors (and for Romanian/Bulgarian citizens): apply for a work permit
