Hosting agreement between the research organization and the researcher

A hosting agreement must contain the following information:

  1. the precise designation of the research project,
  2. the commitment of the researcher to accomplish the research project,
  3. the obligation of the research organization to admit the researcher for con-ducting the research project
  4. information on the essential contents of the legal relationship to be established between the research organization and the foreigner. In particular on the scope of the activity of the foreigner, on salary, leave, working hours and insurance.
  5. a clause which declares the hosting agreement as invalid if the foreigner is not granted a residence permit for researchers.

A recognized research organization may only effectively conclude a hosting agreement if

  1. it is ascertained that the research project is implemented,
  2. the third-country-national is suited and able to implement the research project as it is determined in the hosting agreement. A higher education qualification is usually required for this which permits access to doctorate programmes,
  3. the researcher’s livelihood is ensured.

display as attention: Comment

For granting a residence permit as defined in sec. 20 of the Residence Act the livelihood of a foreigner is considered to be ensured without further examination if the foreigner has a minimum monthly amount (after deductions) of Euro 1,750 (in the old Federal Länder before 1990) or Euro 1,493.33 monthly (in the new Federal Länder since 1990) at his/her disposal.

If the amounts are below this limit, the entitlement to public benefits has to be checked individually. If there is no entitlement to public benefits, the foreigner's livelihood is considered to be ensured.
