Teaching staff of foreign nationality, who are to be employed on a temporary basis at higher education institutions, are appointed by the Rector in accordance with the recommendations of the University Administrative Board following the proposals of the Administrative Board of the relevant Faculty or Graduate School or School of Higher Education. The provisions as set down in this law regarding teaching duties for the permanent teaching staff also apply for these foreign appointees.

The appointment of such foreign nationals is made upon the approval of the Ministry of the Interior, without being subject to the provisions of Law No. 657 on Civil Servants, which require a decision on the part of the Cabinet. The Ministry of the Interior is to reply within two months, and such foreign nationals are hired on a contract basis.
