Memo for hosts / hostesses of foreign visitors

Before your guest arrives

1. Please fill in the form for new employees and visitors: https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/74920/lomake.html?rinnakkaislomake=NewEmployee2017. The form is intended for gathering all the information we need for the administrative tasks when a visitor starts work at the department (such as contracts, user accounts, workstations, keys, equipment).

2. If your visitor only needs access to a wireless network with his or her own laptop, any staff member can create a HUPnet account. For more information, please see https://helpdesk.it.helsinki.fi/en/instructions/logging-and-connections/user-account/hupnet-accounts-visitors.

3. If your visitor will be paid a fee for a guest lecture or travel remuneration, please contact Päivi Kuuppelomäki (A341). Please tell your European visitors that they will need their IBAN account number and their bank's SWIFT or BIC code, and visitors from outside Europe will also need their bank's SWIFT code. Further, inform your visitors that they need to save all receipts connected with their trip and deliver them to Päivi Kuuppelomäki. She will send travel invoicing form to visitor and helps in filling if necessary. She will do together with financial and human resources secretaries application for tax-at-source card  and fees to SAP HR system.  For long term visitors will be made an agreement with a grant-funded researcher.

The guide Welcome to Helsinki produced by the City of Helsinki is a rich source of information.
