Stays under 90 days

GUEST RESEARCHERS
The International Staff Unit (ISU) assists non-employed guest researchers and non-employed, non-enrolled PhD students at AAU to apply for residence and work permits. However, you will need to first contact the secretary at your affiliated department at Aalborg University. 

FOR NORDIC CITIZENS
You do not need a residence and work permit. If your stay exceeds 90 days please read more about registration upon arrival for Nordic citizens.

FOR EU/EEA CITIZENS
You do not need a residence and work permit. If your stay exceeds 90 days please read more about the EU residence document and registration upon arrival for EU/EAA citizens.

However, you will need a residence and work permit to work and conduct research in Greenland or at the Faroe Islands.

FOR NON-EU/EEA CITIZENS
Whether you are employed as a researcher or only visiting Aalborg University as a guest researcher (unpaid researcher without an employment contract), you are allowed to work without a residence and work permit, if your stay in Denmark does not exceed 90 days within a calendar year.

However, depending on your citizenship, you may need a short-term visa to enter Denmark. Please visit the New-to-Denmark website.

If you do require a visa, please contact the secretary at your affiliated department at Aalborg University for assistance with the invitation form for the visa application and/or invitation letter.

Kindly note that if your stay in Denmark is shorter than 90 days, you will not be able to register as a resident in Denmark (and get a CPR number) and you will not be covered by the Danish health insurance.
