SULF has concluded agreements concerning guest membership with university teaching unions/associations in Canada, Ireland, Great Britain, Finland, Norway and Denmark. These agreements state that a SULF member who is working for a period at, for example, a Norwegian university may contact their representatives to obtain advice or support concerning issues regarding employment contracts, salary and other benefits, working conditions and other similar union matters. Members receive the status of Guest Member (in Ireland and Great Britain Affiliate Member).

One precondition for guest membership is that the individual remains as a member of SULF during this period.

The period as guest member may last a maximum of two years, after this you must apply for full membership of the organisation. During your period abroad, no additional membership fee is required, normal fees are continued in the home country.
